† Appearances (Goals).Cătălin Răcănel (born 23 September 1976) is a Romanian footballer who plays for German club Borussia Neunkirchen.
Although Răcănel holds Romanian citizenship, he was brought up in Germany and played for the youth teams of SG Erbach and FC Homburg. His first senior club station was Regionalliga side Borussia Neunkirchen. In 1998 Racanel left for SV Elversberg in the same league. He played in 29 matches for the club and scored two goals. After only one year in Elversberg he left for Eintracht Trier who also played in Regionalliga West/Südwest. At the start of the 2001-02 season, Răcănel was signed by freshly promoted Bundesliga side FC St. Pauli. However, Răcănel failed to make an impact here and only played in 7 Bundesliga matches. In his second year at St. Pauli, he played another 7 matches in the 2nd Bundesliga. At the end of the season he returned to Eintracht Trier and soon became a first team regular, playing in 65 matches over the next two seasons. After Trier's relegation from 2nd Bundesliga Răcănel moved to LR Ahlen where he also was a regular starter, but left the club after they were relegated from 2nd Bundesliga as well. Răcănel now signed for fourth-tier side Sachsen Leipzig in the NOFV-Oberliga. In 40 matches for Leipzig Răcănel scored 5 goals. In June 2008, Racanel signed for Regionalliga Nord side 1. FC Magdeburg where he has not missed a single match.
