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.

He was invited to a trial by Ajax and played for the Ajax A1 team in the annual Copa Amsterdam, scoring once.

Arminia Bielefeld will also receive a further €100.000, should Ajax decide to sell the striker. Höner is the fifth German player to sign for Ajax.
