Ronan Alan Kratt (born September 2, 2003) is a Canadian professional soccer player who plays for Regionalliga Nord club Werder Bremen II.

Early life

[edit]

Kratt is the son of Laura Kratt and Martin Kratt, one of the Kratt brothers, who are American zoologists and children's educational television show hosts. They created and starred in shows such as Zoboomafoo and Wild Kratts, the latter of which Ronan appeared in as a child.[1][2]

Kratt began playing youth soccer with Ottawa South United at age six,[3][4] who were able to arrange multiple training opportunities in Spain with Spanish club Barcelona's La Masia academy.[5] In March 2016, he had week-long trials with English club Crewe Alexandra and German club Bayern Munich.[6] In 2018, he moved to the United States, where he played two seasons with the Barca Residency Academy in Arizona.[3][7]

In January 2020, at age 16, Kratt committed to attending Carleton University and playing for the men's soccer team beginning in September 2021, turning down NCAA Division I offers.[8] However, he ultimately did not attend Carleton, instead moving to Germany to join SSV Ulm's U19 side in the summer of 2021.[9]

Club career

[edit]

In 2020, Kratt played with Ottawa South United in the Première ligue de soccer du Québec.[9]

In the 2021–22 season, he spent most of the season with SSV Ulm's U19 side, but made one appearance for the senior side in the fourth tier Regionalliga Südwest on March 19 against Mainz 05 II as a late-game substitute.[10]

On June 17, 2022, Kratt signed a professional contract with Canadian Premier League club York United, effective the beginning of July.[11] He made his debut on July 8, starting the match against Forge FC.[12] He scored his first goal in the next game on July 15 against Pacific FC.[13] After the season, York arranged for him to go on a training stint with Werder Bremen II.[14][15]

In January 2023, he joined Werder Bremen II on loan until July 1,[16][17] with a purchase option that would activate if Kratt makes a certain number of appearances.[18][19] Bremen would activate their option in June 2023, signing Kratt on a permanent transfer.[20][21] On August 16, 2023, he scored a hat-trick in a 14–1 victory over Brinkumer SV.[22]

International career

[edit]

Being a dual citizen, Kratt is eligible to play for both Canada and the United States.[23]

In April 2016, he attended a couple of camps at the United States Soccer Training Centre with the United States youth teams.[24]

In April 2022, he was named to a training camp for the Canada U20 team.[25] He made his debut in a pair of friendlies that month against Costa Rica U20.[26]
