Doron Leidner (Hebrew: דורון ליידנר; born 26 April 2002) is an Israeli professional footballer who plays as a left wing-back for Super League Greece club Olympiacos and the Israel national team.

Early and personal life

Leidner was born and raised in Rishon LeZion, Israel, to an Israeli family of Ashkenazi Jewish (Romanian-Jewish) descent.[2][3][4][1][5]

He also holds a Romanian passport, on account of his Ashkenazi Jewish ancestors, which eases the move to certain European football leagues.[1][5]

Club career

On 29 July 2022, Leidner signed a four-year deal with Greek club Olympiacos for a fee of €2 million.[6] On 18 January 2023, Leidner was loaned to Austrian Bundesliga side Austria Wien until the end of the season.[7] On 28 May 2023, Leidner picked up an injury in a 3–1 league defeat to LASK. On 2 June, it was reported that he had torn his cruciate ligament and would return to Athens to undergo surgery.[8]

International career

He also plays for Israel's U-21 since 2021.
