Michael Gregoritsch (born 18 April 1994) is an Austrian professional footballer who plays as a winger or striker for Bundesliga club SC Freiburg and the Austria national team.[2] [3] [4]
In 2008, Gregoritsch began his career at Kapfenberger SV's youth teams and was promoted to the Austrian Bundesliga team in January 2010.[5] He made his debut on 14 April 2010 against Austria Wien and scored his first league goal less than three minutes after coming on as an 82nd-minute substitute. This made him the youngest goalscorer in the history of the Austrian Bundesliga with only 15 years and 361 days.[6] He finished the 2009–10 season with a goal in four appearances.[7] He also made appearances for the reserve team over three seasons.[8] [9] [10]
Gregoritsch moved to 1899 Hoffenheim on 28 June 2011 for an undisclosed fee. He signed a four-year contract but was loaned to Kapfenberger SV until June 2012. He then only played for the second team of Hoffenheim, where he scored 11 goals in 28 appearances.[11]
In 2013, he was loaned to FC St. Pauli, where he played for both the first and second teams.[7]
He joined VfL Bochum on loan for the 2014–15 season,[7] where he scored seven goals in 27 appearances.[2]
He played for Hamburger SV during the 2015–16 and 2016–17 seasons.[7] He scored six goals in 26 appearances during the 2015–16 season[12] and five goals in 32 appearances during the 2016–17 season.[13]
He went to FC Augsburg for the 2017–18 season. He finished the 2017–18 season with 13 goals in 33 appearances.[14]
On 23 December 2019, Gregoritsch was loaned to Schalke 04 until the end of the campaign.[15] In his debut match for Schalke on 17 January 2020, he recorded a goal and an assist in a 2–0 home win against Borussia Mönchengladbach.[16]
On 8 July 2022, SC Freiburg announced that they had signed Gregoritsch ahead of the 2022–23 Bundesliga season.[17]
As of July 2023, his father, Werner Gregoritsch, is the head coach of the Austrian under-21 national team.[18]
