Career

edit

Görlich came through the academy at 1899 Hoffenheim before leaving the club in June 2021 having been a regular starter for the club's second team during the 2020-21 season, making 33 appearances both as a right-back and in right midfield. In total, he made 59 fourth-division appearances, scoring two goals and providing four assists, and appeared nine times in the UEFA Youth League for the club, but not made any appearances in the Bundesliga.[1] He subsequently played for Eintracht Braunschweig. After one season at Braunschweig he looked to move on for more game time as they had plenty of options in the right flank positions.[2]

Görlich impressed on trial at PEC Zwolle in the summer of 2022.[3] He signed a two-year contract with the option for a third on 3 August 2022.[4] Görlich scored his first goal in the Eerste Divisie away at SC Telstar in a 5–0 victory at their BUKO Stadion. He followed this up with a brace in a 4–0 away victory over VVV Venlo at their De Koel Stadion. This meant he had scored three goals in his first three games for PEC Zwolle.[5]

He signed for Norwegian club Bryne FK of the OBOS-ligaen in 2024. He made his debut for the club as a second half substitute on 1 April 2024, in a 3-1 home win over IK Start.[6] He scored his first league goal for the club the following month in a 2-0 win over Aalesund.[7] He was a key contributor to Bryne FK's promotion to the Eliteserien with 3 goals and 9 assists.

He signed for German club SSV Ulm of the 3. Liga in 2025.[8]

He is from Heidelberg, and is the son of the former managing director of 1899 Hoffenheim, Peter Görlich.[1]
