Club career edit

Staude started playing football at FTuS Ost Bielefeld at the age of five and joined Arminia Bielefeld's youth department in 2005. As a 13-year-old, he completed a trial practice at Bayern Munich.[2] For the Arminia U17 team he made 24 appearances in the Under 17 Bundesliga and scored seven goals. He then moved to the U19 side of Arminia, but could not prevent their relegation as bottom of the table from the Under 19 Bundesliga.

On 15 May 2016, Staude made his professional debut for Arminia Bielefeld in the 2. Bundesliga. He came on as a substitute for David Ulm in the last matchday at Karlsruher SC and a provided an assist a few minutes after coming on for the equaliser from Christopher Nöthe.[3] Staude then caused a stir with his two goals in the last two matches of the 2016–17 season.[4] He was also able to build on this performance in the following season. In the meantime he succeeded in asserting himself as an integral part of the squad. On 20 April 2018, Staude made his 50th 2. Bundesliga appearance for Arminia.

On 9 August 2020, after his contract with Arminia had expired as the club had won promotion to the Bundesliga,[5] Staude signed a one-year contract with an option of an extra season with recently promoted 2. Bundesliga club Würzburger Kickers.[6] On 2 January 2021, Staude was released by Würzburger Kickers.[7]

International career edit

Staude debuted for the Germany U20s in a 1–0 friendly loss to the Italy U20s on 1 September 2016.[8]
