Niclas Füllkrug (born 9 February 1993) is a German professional footballer who plays as a forward for Premier League club West Ham United and the Germany national team.
A Werder Bremen youth star, Füllkrug started his senior career with the club's reserves. Following appearances with the first team in the Bundesliga and a loan to 2. Bundesliga side Greuther Fürth in the 2013–14 season, he moved to 1. FC Nürnberg. His performances at Nürnberg earned him a move to Hannover 96 in 2016. In April 2019, he returned to Werder Bremen for the 2019–20 season and played there for four seasons before joining Borussia Dortmund in 2023. After one season with Borussia Dortmund, he moved abroad for the first time, joining the English side West Ham United in 2024.
A former German youth international, he received a call-up to the Germany senior national team in November 2022, which he went on to represent at the 2022 FIFA World Cup and the UEFA Euro 2024.
