Felix Bastians (born May 9, 1988) is a German footballer, who plays as a left-sided attacking midfielder for Swiss club Young Boys Bern after being released by Nottingham Forest. He has represented Germany at U-15, U-16, U-17 and U-19 level and is an U-21 international where he has yet to win his first cap. Bastians has a sweet-left foot, although he can competently use his right, and can play in a number of positions in midfield, on the wing or up front. His main attributes are his pace and strength and he is able to hold the ball up well.

He was on loan to Gillingham late in the 2006-07 season. He was previously loaned out to Halifax Town and Northwich Victoria. He is the third youngest player ever to play for Forest, behind Gary Mills and Craig Westcarr.

Bastians has also played for SG Wattenscheid 09, VfL Bochum and Borussia Dortmund and was a member of the German national U-19 team. Bastians made his way up through the youth team ranks and has since become a fairly regular first team player, mostly coming off the bench. His father is a well known doctor in Germany and helped him recover from an injury in January 2006.

Bastians played on loan for Football Conference clubs Northwich Victoria and Halifax Town where he scored 5 goals overall for the two sides, including a goal on his debut at St Albans City. While playing for Halifax Town he was named "Man of the Match" 3 times. He was recalled to the Forest squad by Colin Calderwood for extra cover for the end of season run in.

He joined Gillingham on 22 March 2007 on a loan until the end of the 2006–07 season. He made his Gillingham debut in the 5-0 away defeat to Carlisle United on 24 March and scored his first goal in a 3-2 away defeat to Rotherham United on 7 April.

Bastians was part of the successful Forest reserve side who won the Pontins Holiday League Championship title for the 2006-2007 season, beating Rotherham 2-0 in the play-off final, Bastians scored a number of goals throughout the season to help his side lift the title.

He joined Chesterfield on a month's loan in October 2007.cite news

] He impressed in his spell at Chesterfield, scoring one goal in thirteen appearances. His loan spell ended on January 2, 2008 and he signed for Notts County [ [http://www.nottinghamforest.premiumtv.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10308~1206543,00.html Felix is a Magpie] ] two days later on a month's loan.

] . He later returned to The Reds, but failed to earn himself a new deal at the club and was released by Colin Calderwood on May 21 2008, much to some of the fans disgust. Bastians has become hot-property and has recently been linked with FC Schalke 04, Leeds and League One newcomers Hereford United. But finally he decided to switch to the Swiss Super League to play for Young Boys Bern.

On 10th August 2008 he scored his first goal for his new team, the equaliser in a 2-1 win against Neuchatel Xamax in front of over 16,000 supporters at the Stade de Suisse in Bern
