Ryan Naderi

Ryan Naderi of Rangers was born in Dresden, Germany on 10 July 2003 (age 22).

Ryan Naderi, born on 10 July 2003 (age 22), is a German striker with a profile built far more at Hansa Rostock than anywhere else so far. At a commanding 6ft 4in (1.94m), he has the frame for the role, though the substance of his senior record is still fairly concentrated.

His time at Hansa Rostock has done most of the work in shaping that record. Across two league seasons he made 42 appearances and scored 13 goals, with his best return coming in 2025-26, when he scored eight times in 18 league games.

That same 2025-26 season also included nine league appearances and one goal for Rangers, where he wore the number 20 shirt. The contrast is fairly plain: Rangers gave him minutes, Hansa Rostock gave him a proper run and the goals came with it.

His market value is around £4m, according to Transfermarkt. At this stage, Naderi’s career is best understood as that of a developing striker whose strongest senior spell has clearly come at Hansa Rostock.

Ryan Naderi’s season was split sharply by his February move to Rangers. He scored eight goals in 18 appearances for Hansa Rostock before the transfer, then managed one goal in nine Premiership appearances for Rangers. The production suggests Rangers bought a striker on the back of a strong first half of the season, but his immediate league impact in Scotland was limited.

Naderi’s rating profile was steady but not dominant, with a season average of 6.64 and a narrow band between 6.37 and 6.95. That range points to a player who avoided severe dips, but there is little in the ratings to suggest he consistently took control of matches after the move.

Naderi’s career arc has been upward rather than settled. After leaving Borussia Mönchengladbach II for Hansa Rostock in 2024, he produced five goals in 2024-25 and then eight more before Rangers moved for him in 2026. At 22, the pattern points to a striker progressing quickly through levels rather than one with a long record at senior level.

The transfer history shows a rapid rise in valuation. Hansa Rostock paid €170,000 to take Naderi from Borussia Mönchengladbach II in August 2024, then sold him to Rangers for €4.8m in February 2026. That jump reflects how heavily his Hansa scoring run changed his market position.
