Career
Not to be confused with Philipp Hofmann
Hoffmann came through 1. Football Club Saarbrücken"s youth system, and made his debut for the club in a 4–2 3. Liga defeat to Arminia Bielefeld in March 2012, as a substitute for Moustapha Salifou.
He made no appearances during the 2012-2013 season, but became a first-team regular the following year, his performances being one of the few positives in a poor season which saw Saarbrücken relegated to the Regionalliga West.
Hoffmann would stay in the 3. Liga, though, signing for Preußen Münster at the end of the season.
