Born in Bielefeld, Höner is an academy product of local 2. Bundesliga club Arminia Bielefeld. He played for the club's A-Juniors team in the 2012–13 Under 19 Bundesliga season, scoring ten goals in 12 matches.[1] His performances for his club as well as for the German national under-19 team drew attention from several clubs, including Ajax.[2] He was invited to a trial by Ajax and played for the Ajax A1 team in the annual Copa Amsterdam, scoring once.[3]
