Club career

Köln

After beginning his youth career with SV Auersmacher in his home state of Saarland, Hector transferred to 1. FC Köln in 2010.[3] He was promoted to the first team by coach Holger Stanislawski for the 2012–13 season and was given a debut in the first round of the DFB-Pokal against SpVgg Unterhaching on 1 August 2012.[3][4] On 27 August, he made his league debut in a 2. Bundesliga match against FC Erzgebirge Aue.[3][2] He established himself as a starting player for Köln during the season, making 24 appearances in the league.[2]

In 2013–14, Hector started 33 of Köln's 34 matches as the FC won the second division championship, gaining promotion to the Bundesliga.[2] On 4 November 2013, he scored his first professional goal in a 4–0 defeat of 1. FC Union Berlin.[5]

The following season, he again played in all but one of FC Köln's league matches, making his Bundesliga debut against Hamburger SV on the first matchday.[3][2] On 4 October 2014, he scored his first Bundesliga goal in a 3–2 loss at Eintracht Frankfurt.[3][2] He was named Köln's Player of the Season for 2014–15 by the club's official website with 54.41% of the vote.[6] On 31 December 2015, Hector was also named FC Köln's "Winner of the Year" by Cologne newspaper Express, who named the defender the club's "Mr. Reliable".[7]

On 7 February 2016, Hector captained Köln for the first time in a 1–1 draw with Hamburger SV.[8] At the end of the 2015–16 season, Hector was reported to have the most crosses blocked in Bundesliga, recording a total of 20 blocks.[9]

After a successful season and an impressive Euro campaign, Hector received interest from the likes of Liverpool and Chelsea, which led to negotiations on a new contract. On 14 August 2016, Hector signed a new contract until 2021.[10][11]

International career

On 7 November 2014, Hector was called up to the Germany national football team for the first time ahead of a UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying match against Gibraltar and a friendly against Spain. Manager Joachim Löw said "We want to get to know Jonas Hector better; he's in good form for Cologne."[12] He made his debut in the 4–0 win over Gibraltar in Nuremberg on 14 November, replacing Erik Durm for the last 18 minutes.[13]

On 4 September 2015, he started a Euro 2016 qualifier against Poland at left back and assisted goals for Thomas Müller and Mario Götze thus further staking his claim to the left back position for Germany.[14]

On 29 March 2016, Hector scored his first goal for Germany in a 4–1 win over Italy in Munich.[15]

On 31 May 2016, Hector was named in Germany's final 23-man squad for UEFA Euro 2016.[16] On 2 July 2016, Hector scored the winning kick in the quarter-final penalty shootout against Italy to take the German team into the Euro 2016 semi-final stage.[17] On 11 November 2016, Hector scored two goals in a 2018 FIFA World Cup Qualification game against San Marino.
