Early life

[edit]

Club career

[edit]

Early career

[edit]

Narey played youth football for SV Bergfried Leverkusen-Steinbüchel from June 2003 to 30 June 2008.[2] After moving to Bayer Leverkusen in 2010, he was promoted from their U19 team to the reserves ahead of the 2013–14 season, and developed into a regular player. He played there for a total of four years before moving to Borussia Dortmund. Narey joined Borussia Dortmund II in 2014 from Bayer Leverkusen.[3] He made his professional debut in the 3. Liga on 26 July 2014 against Rot-Weiß Erfurt.[4] and was even part of the squad for the black and yellow licensed team at the start of the Bundesliga this season. He was loaned to Paderborn, where he became a regular in league two in the second half of the season. Narey joined Greuther Fürth on 1 July 2016 on a three-year contract and played in 70 matches, scoring eight goals and providing seven assists.[5]

Hamburger SV

[edit]

For the 2018–19 season, Narey moved to Hamburger SV. He signed for the newly relegated 2. Bundesliga club, agreeing on a four-year contract.[6] Under head coaches Christian Titz and Hannes Wolf, he established himself as a regular starter as a winger to finish with 32 league appearances (28 starts). With seven league goals, he was only behind Pierre-Michel Lasogga (13 goals), to become the second highest goalscorer of a HSV team, which missed out on direct promotion with a 4th-place finish. Despite being a key member of the team with 84 appearances, 11 goals and 9 assists, the fact that Hamburg was reaching the well but not drinking the water, coupled with the introversion in the team and the constant changes of coaches led him again to look for a new challenge in his career.

Fortuna Düsseldorf

[edit]

In the summer of 2021, Narey signed a two-year contract with Fortuna Düsseldorf. He enjoyed a stellar season, as he scored 8 goals and provided 15 assists in 31 matches in Germany's 2. Bundesliga.[7]

PAOK

[edit]

After weeks of waiting and hard "bargaining", the Thessalonikians managed to reach an agreement with the German team for the acquisition of the 27-year-old German winger, with the "Double-headed eagle" paying around €1.5m plus €250k in bonuses and a 10% share in possible future transfer fees.[8][9]

Al-Khaleej

[edit]

On 28 August 2023, Narey joined Saudi Pro League club Al-Khaleej on a two-year deal.[10]

International career

[edit]

Narey was born in Germany to Togolese parents[1] He debuted with Togo in a 1–1 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification tie with Sudan on 16 November 2023.[11]
