Career

Gindorf passed through the youth departments of 1. FC Saarbrücken, FC Ingolstadt, SV Elversberg and SC Freiburg. In the summer of 2021, he had to leave the club after SC Freiburg's under-23 team was promoted to the 3. Liga, as he did not receive a new contract. As a result, Gindorf was unemployed for two and a half months and received state benefits.^[2]

He then moved to FC Memmingen in the Regionalliga Bayern and, in the summer of 2022, to Hannover 96's Regionalliga team, where he played under coach Daniel Stendel. In the summer of 2023, he was briefly allowed to train with the professionals of Hannover 96, but was sent back to the second team. On 2 March 2024, Gindorf made his professional debut in the 2. Bundesliga against Fortuna Düsseldorf.^[3] He signed his first professional contract on 9 April 2024. On the 30th matchday of the 2023–24 season, Gindorf made his starting XI debut in the 2. Bundesliga and scored a goal in the match at Millerntor-Stadion against FC St. Pauli.^[4]
