Club career

Engels began his career with SV Allner-Bödingen and later played for TuS Mondorf before moving to 1. FC Köln's academy in 2008. [2] In 2012, he was promoted to the second team's squad, competing in Regionalliga West. [3] On 5 May 2012, he made his senior debut against SV Elversberg, replacing Lucas Musculus in the 74th minute of a 2–1 away loss. [4] One year later, on 13 May 2013, during a resounding 9–0 victory against MSV Duisburg II, he scored his first goal. [5]

Ahead of the 2014–15 season, Engels joined 2. Bundesliga club FSV Frankfurt and made his debut against Karlsruher SC on 8 August 2014. [6] [7] He scored his first goal for the club on 30 November 2014, helping secure a 2–0 win over 1860 Munich. [8] After the 2015–16 season, as the club was relegated to the 3. Liga, Engels left the team. [9]

In August 2016, Engels joined Polish Ekstraklasa club Śląsk Wrocław. [10] [11] In July 2017, he moved to Dutch Eredivisie club Roda JC, suffering relegation with the club at the end of the season.

[14]

His impressive performance caught the attention of 2. Bundesliga club SV Sandhausen, who secured his services ahead of the 2019–20 season, providing him with a two-year contract. [15]

On 4 October 2020, Engels returned to the Netherlands, signing a two-year contract with Sparta Rotterdam. [16]
