The former pro, who made more than 300 top-flight appearances, now has a player’s registration with SpVgg Niedernberg. That is according to 'kicker'.

Baier is currently working in a senior role for RB Leipzig, but he apparently hasn’t lost his desire to play. The reason is a family one – Niedernberg are coached by Baier’s father. 

The midfielder is not planning a long-term return, but wants to help out the team from time to time. We love it!
