Doron Leidner (Hebrew: דורון ליידנר; born (2002-04-26)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[edit]

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[edit]

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[edit]

He also plays for Israel's U-21 since 2021.[citation needed]
