Jonas Hummels (born 5 August 1990) is a German footballer who plays as a central defender for SpVgg Unterhaching. He is the younger brother of German international Mats Hummels, and the son of Hermann Hummels, a former footballer and manager.

Career

Just as his brother did, Jonas began his career in the youth team of Bayern Munich, but left as a 16 year-old to sign for neighbours SpVgg Unterhaching. He spent three years playing for the club's reserve team, before being promoted to the first-team in 2011. Coach Heiko Herrlich made Hummels team captain, the youngest in the club's history, but he was injured in the 12th minute of the third game of the season, a 4–1 win over Kickers Offenbach. The injury ruled him out for over a year - he returned to action in August 2012, as a late substitute for Daniel Hofstetter in a 3–0 defeat to VfL Osnabrück.
