Danny Schmidt (born 30 January 2003) is a German footballer who plays as a midfielder for Fortuna Düsseldorf.
Born in Wiesbaden, Schmidt began his career at SV Neuhof in his home state of Hesse.
[2] He made his debut on 4 August as the season began with a 2–0 win away to SV Darmstadt 98; the Rheinische Post wrote that he had been signed as a prospect, but had earned his starting place by scoring in friendly matches over the summer.
Manager Daniel Thioune played him as a centre forward and praised his performance, but doubted whether he would have started in his natural position due to the club's strength there already.
[3] In his third game on 25 August, he came on as a substitute and scored a late winner in a 2–1 victory at SSV Ulm 1846.
