Dominic Peitz (born September 11, 1984 in Geseke ) is a German soccer player who plays in the defensive midfield . He is currently under contract with 1. FSV Mainz 05 and will be head of the Holstein Kiel youth training center following the 2019/20 season .

Career

Peitz played from 2003 to 2005 at SC Paderborn 07 in the Regionalliga Nord . After he had only two appearances in the 2003/04 season, he was on the field 16 times in 2004/05. He scored two goals. In the summer of 2005 he moved to Werder Bremen's second team and played there 89 times until 2008. From July 2008 on, Peitz was under contract with VfL Osnabrück . For VfL Peitz completed 31 league games and scored three goals. From the 2009/10 season he played for 1. FC Union Berlin . In his first season he was voted one of the strongest players in the league by the kicker sports magazine . In January 2011, Peitz received the Fair Play Medal of the German Olympic Society (DOG) at the New Year's reception of the Berlin Football Association . This was preceded by a game against VfL Bochum on matchday 15 , in which Peitz prevented a yellow card for opponent Chong Tese despite the 0-1 deficit by notifying the referee that Teses was not playing a handball. Later that year, Peitz was also awarded the special prize of the DFB campaign “Fair is more” for this campaign.

For the 2011/12 season, Peitz signed a contract with the first division promoted FC Augsburg until 2013 . Shortly before the end of the transfer period, he was awarded on August 31, 2011 for a year to the second division Hansa Rostock , for whom he completed a total of 19 missions in the 2011/12 season and had to accept relegation to the third division at the end of the season. After his return to Augsburg, Markus Weinzierl did not consider Peitz for the professional squad and was supposed to train with the second team. He then sued for the contractually entitled right to train with the professional team, but took part in the game operations of the reserve team, for which he made his debut on the first match day of the 2012/13 season of the Regionalliga Bayern .

At the end of August 2012, Peitz signed a contract dated June 30, 2015 with the second division relegated Karlsruher SC . With the KSC he was champion of the 3rd division in 2013 and thus managed a direct promotion back to the 2nd division. He spent the longest part of his career in Karlsruhe and became a regular player in the sixth position and a crowd favorite. At the end of the 2014/15 season he played with KSC in the relegation to the 1st Bundesliga against Hamburger SV in the first leg, but was suspended for the second leg. The KSC ultimately failed in the extension. With the upcoming contract extension in the next season, there were differences over the contract term, so that Peitz left the club after the end of the 2015/16 season.

For the 2016/17 season , the third division Holstein Kiel signed him, who provided him with a contract that ran until June 30, 2019. With the storks , the midfielder was able to move up to the 2nd Bundesliga as a champion at the end of the season and there a year later as third in the table unsuccessfully participate in the relegation. During the winter break of the 2018/19 season , Peitz was released without a competitive appearance in the current season. In total, he had made 67 competitive games for the club in two and a half years.

The 34-year-old then switched to the second team (U23) of the first division club 1. FSV Mainz 05 in the Regionalliga Südwest and signed a contract valid until June 2020. There he became a regular player straight away in defensive midfield.

After the active career

In April 2020, Peitz announced that he would no longer extend his contract in Mainz, which expired in June 2020, and that he would end his active career. Following the 2019/20 season , he will return to Holstein Kiel to take up a position as head of the youth training center.

Style of play

Peitz is considered a tough, very tough defensive midfielder. He compensates for weaknesses in passing, speed and sometimes in positional play with absolute commitment and willingness to run. He is considered a "rough leg" and in his four years at Karlsruhe was blocked six times in yellow and twice in yellow and red. On the other hand, he received the DFB's fair play medal in 2011 for convincing a referee to withdraw a yellow card for an opponent.
