Patrick Drewes
Youth and Senior Career
Patrick Drewes was born on February 4, 1993, in Delmenhorst, Germany, and grew up in the Oldenburg region, located about 15 kilometers (or roughly 9 miles) west of Bremen. The experienced goalkeeper took his first steps in football at TuS Heidkrug, which he joined at the tender age of two.
At 15, Drewes progressed to the youth academy of VfL Wolfsburg, and he would remain loyal to the club for a total of nine years. During that time, he gained valuable experience playing with the reserve side in the Regionalliga, while also being part of the extended first-team squad.
In continuing his career, Patrick Drewes became somewhat of a journeyman. In 2015, he joined Swiss second division outfit FC Wil on loan, followed a year later by a move to 3. Liga team Preußen Münster. He subsequently signed with Würzburger Kickers.
In 2019, Drewes’ path led him to VfL Bochum. As the club’s backup, he featured in five second division matches and played his part in the club winning the league crown. He subsequently remained in the 2. Bundesliga, joining SV Sandhausen, where he was the undisputed number one between 2021 and 2023.
Having spent the 2023-24 season as Karlsruher SC’s starter, Drewes returned to VfL Bochum in the summer. There, he guarded the net from matchday 1 to matchday 21 of the 2024-25 Bundesliga campaign, posting a 54% save percentage.
