Club career

Mainz 05

Born in Bad Kreuznach, Huth grew up in nearby Guldental and started playing football with local clubs SG Guldental and Hassia Bingen.^[2]

Subsequently, he joined the youth ranks of Mainz 05 and eventually made it to their second team squad. He made his 3. Liga debut with Mainz 05 II at 5 October 2014 against Holstein Kiel.^[3]

In January 2018, Huth joined Eredivisie side Sparta Rotterdam on loan until the end of the season.^[4]

SC Paderborn

In May 2019, Huth joined newly promoted Bundesliga club SC Paderborn on a three-year contract, effective 1 July.^[5] He was expected to compete with Leopold Zingerle for the starting goalkeeper position. Huth began the season as Paderborn's first-choice goalkeeper due to Zingerle recovering from a shoulder injury sustained the previous season. However, after Zingerle's return, Huth was relegated to a backup role.^[6]

Following Paderborn's relegation to the 2. Bundesliga, Huth became the club's starting goalkeeper for the 2021–22 season.^[7] He held the position for more than two seasons before losing his place to Pelle Boevink midway through the 2023–24 campaign.^[8][9] He made 91 appearances for the club.^[10]

SC Freiburg

On 3 June 2024, Huth signed with SC Freiburg, effective in July.^[11] There, he was set to become the third goalkeeper behind Noah Atubolu and Florian Müller.^[12]

International career

In late August 2015, Huth received his first ever call for a Germany youth team.^[13] He was nominated as a replacement for Odisseas Vlachodimos in the under-21 team.^[14]

He was part of the squad for the 2016 Summer Olympics, where Germany won the silver medal.^[15]
