Guido Burgstaller is an Austrian professional footballer who currently plays as a forward for Rapid Wien in the Austrian Bundesliga. Born on April 29, 1989, in Villach, Austria, Burgstaller has carved out a respectable career, known for his goal-scoring ability, work ethic, and somewhat nomadic journey across European football.
Burgstaller’s professional journey began in Austria, where he played for various clubs, including FC Kärnten and SC Magna Wiener Neustadt. He first gained significant recognition during his time at Wiener Neustadt, where his goals helped the team to a mid-table finish in the Austrian Bundesliga. This early promise attracted attention from abroad, and in 2011, he made his first move outside Austria, joining German side Hannover 96.
His time in Hannover was relatively short-lived and didn’t see him establish himself as a regular starter. After a loan spell with SV Ried back in Austria, Burgstaller moved to 1. FC Nürnberg in 2014. It was here that he truly began to flourish. He quickly became a key player for Nürnberg, scoring consistently and showcasing his versatility as a forward capable of playing both centrally and on the wing. His goal-scoring prowess made him a fan favorite at the club.
This impressive form at Nürnberg attracted the attention of another German club, and in January 2017, Burgstaller joined FC Schalke 04. The move represented a significant step up for him, joining a club with ambitions of competing in the Champions League. He initially made a positive impact at Schalke, contributing crucial goals and becoming a valuable member of the squad. He was known for his tenacity and commitment on the pitch, endearing him to the Schalke faithful.
However, his time at Schalke wasn’t without its challenges. While he had periods of strong form, consistency proved elusive, and he faced criticism for missed opportunities and a perceived lack of clinical finishing at times. The club also experienced a difficult period both on and off the field, which impacted player performances across the board. After a few seasons, he eventually left Schalke in 2020.
Following his departure from Schalke, Burgstaller returned to Germany, joining FC St. Pauli in the 2. Bundesliga. He enjoyed a very successful spell with St. Pauli, rediscovering his goal-scoring touch and becoming a vital part of their attack. His experience and leadership also proved valuable to the team.
In 2022, Burgstaller made a return to his native Austria, signing for Rapid Wien. The move marked a homecoming for the experienced forward, and he has since become a key figure in their squad, continuing to demonstrate his goal-scoring abilities and leadership qualities.
Throughout his career, Guido Burgstaller has represented Austria at the international level, earning caps and contributing to the national team. While not necessarily a superstar, he has consistently proven himself to be a valuable and reliable player, known for his work ethic, dedication, and ability to find the back of the net.
