Florian Dietz (born 3 August 1998) is a German professional footballer who plays as a forward for 2. Bundesliga club 1. FC Köln.

Career

Early career

Dietz started with the youth team of FC Strahlungen, before joining TSV Großbardorf's youth ranks. He would leave for Regionalliga Nordost team Carl Zeiss Jena in 2013. Moving up the youth ranks, he would get promoted to the first team in the 2016-17 season. He made his first team debut in a Regionalliga match on 23 September 2016, in a 3-0 victory against Hertha BSC II. He made his breakthrough the next season in the 3. Liga, making 26 appearances and scoring an injury time winner in a 1-0 win in the Thuringia derby.

Werder Bremen

Dietz would leave at the start of the 2018/19 season, joining SV Werder Bremen II of the Regionalliga Nord along with his younger brother Leo. He would score on his debut in a 2-0 victory against SV Drochtersen on 26 August 2018. Over the course of the season, he would play 23 matches and scored 3 goals. Dietz would start the 2019-20 season by scoring in a 1-0 victory against Lüneburger SK Hansa on 27 July 2019. However, he would soon be signed by 3. Liga side SpVgg Unterhaching, signing a 3 year contract.

Unterhaching

Dietz made his Unterhaching debut on 21 September 2019, in a 2-0 win over Sonnenhof Großaspach. Dietz would score his only goal with Unterhaching on 11 October 2019 in the Bavarian Cup against 1860 Munich in a 1-1 draw that Unterhaching would lose on penalties. He would make 20 appearances without scoring in the league for the 2019-20 season.

Köln

Dietz would be loaned to 1. FC Köln II the next season. He made his debut for the reserves on 12 September 2020, in a 2-1 loss against Borussia Dortmund II. He would get his first 2 goals on 18 October 2020, in a 4-0 win against Rot-Weiß Oberhausen. On 4 November 2020, Dietz would get an ACL injury against Straelen, meaning he could not play for at least 6 months. He would be permanently signed at the start of the 2021 season. He would make his return 9 months after his injury on 15 August 2021, in a 2-1 victory against Schalke II.

Following 13 goals in the 2021-22 season, Dietz was promoted to the club's first team in mid 2022, signing a professional contract that would last until 2025. He made his Bundesliga debut on 7 August 2022 in a 3-1 victory against Schalke. He would score his first Bundesliga goal the next match on 13 August, in a 2-2 draw against RB Leipzig. Dietz would also score the next match on 18 August in a Conference League qualifier 2-1 loss against Fehérvár. However, on 30 October in a match against Hoffenheim, Dietz would be substituted off for Sargis Adamyan after only being on the pitch for a few minutes following a tackle by Ozan Kabak. After an MRI Scan, it was announced that he once again suffered another ACL injury and that he would be out for the rest of the season. He would return to the reserves during his latter part of his convalescence period, scoring 4 goals in 9 games in the Regionalliga West. After over a year, Dietz would make his first Bundesliga appearance since being injured on 10 December 2023, in a 0-0 draw against Mainz 05. There was interest from 3. Liga side Rot-Weiss Essen to loan Dietz in the winter transfer window but ultimately Dietz decided to stay with Köln.

Following Köln's relegation to the 2. Bundesliga, it was announced that Dietz's contract would be extended by an undisclosed amount. However, Dietz struggled for gametime in the 2. Bundesliga, only making 3 short cameos in the first half of the season.
