Early career

Ducksch began playing football at the age of four and was enrolled at the academy of BSV Fortuna Dortmund 58 in 1998, where he was initially trained by his father, Klaus Ducksch, who was the coach of the club at the time. In the 2002–03 season Ducksch was scouted by Borussia Dortmund and enrolled into the Borussia Dortmund academy at the age of eight.[2]

Borussia Dortmund

Ducksch is regarded as one of the great hopeful talents of the BVB academy system and while he was enrolled in the BVB academy, he showed his good goal instinct and sharp goal scoring; in the first half of the 2011–12 season playing with the BVB academy U-19, Ducksch played 26 games and scored 16 goals.[3]

In the second half of the 2011–12 season, Ducksch was promoted to Dortmund's second team and played his first match with Borussia Dortmund II on 28 January 2012 in a 2–1 victory over the second team of Bayer Leverkusen in the Regionalliga West.[4] After playing a few matches with Borussia Dortmund II in the Regionalliga, Ducksch scored seven goals in five consecutive games scoring braces each against SC Fortuna Köln, SV Elversberg and single goals against the second teams of 1. FSV Mainz 05, 1. FC Köln and Eintracht Frankfurt.[5] Borussia Dortmund II secured promotion to the 3. Liga.

In the 2012–13 season, Ducksch made his professional football debut on 3 August 2012 in a Borussia Dortmund II match against Alemannia Aachen in the 2012–13 3.

FC St. Pauli

On 15 June 2016, Ducksch joined 2. Bundesliga side St. Pauli signing a three-year contract until 2019.[9] His unveiling made international headlines when Ewald Lienen, the St. Pauli manager at the time, was unable to make it to the event, so a man in a Lienen mask appeared instead.[10]
