Maik Łukowicz (born 1 February 1995) is a professional footballer who plays as a forward for German team Werder Bremen II. Born in Germany, he represented Poland at under-17 and under-20 levels.

Club career[edit]

Born in Bremen, Germany, he began his career in the youth teams of his hometown club Werder Bremen, making his debut in their reserves on 25 April 2014 in a 2–1 home defeat to the reserves of Hannover 96 in the Regionalliga Nord.

The following season, he scored 13 goals in 32 games as they achieved promotion to the 3. Liga. In their 2–2 draw at VfB Lübeck on 26 September 2014, he was accused of doing a Hitler salute, which is a criminal offence in Germany; he was cleared of this accusation by a court the following January.[1] On 23 November 2014, he scored a hat-trick in a 4–3 win over the reserves of Eintracht Braunschweig.[2] After the winter break, he did not net any goals until a 7–0 win against FT Braunschweig on 17 May 2015.[3]

On 28 August 2015, soon after beginning the 3. Liga campaign for Bremen II, Łukowicz was loaned to Hansa Rostock for the remainder of the season.[4]

In August 2016, Łukowicz transferred to the reserve side of Eintracht Braunschweig, playing in the fourth tier Regionalliga Nord[5]

In August 2018, following Braunschweig II's relegation from the Regionalliga Nord, he remained in the division joining VfB Oldenburg.[6]

On 9 August 2022, he joined Teutonia Ottensen, also of the Regionalliga Nord.[7] He scored 15 goals in 29 appearances in the 2022–23 season.[8]

In summer 2023, Łukowicz returned to former club Werder Bremen, where he was assigned to the club's reserves, playing in the fifth-tier Bremen-Liga.[8] During the 2023–24 season he and teammate Joel Imasuen fought for the spot as top scorer across all Oberligas, having scored 30 (Łukowicz) and 25 goals (Imasuen) after 20 matches.[9]

International career[edit]

Born in Germany, Łukowicz also holds a Polish passport.[4] He represented the Poland under-20 team as they won the 2014–15 Four Nations tournament, concluding with a 2–1 win over Germany in Jena.[10]
