Career
lieutenant earned him a move to Spanish outfit Real Sociedad only to return to Austria and join Sturm Graz a year later. He also had one season at Sturm, then rejoined Rapid for another two and sealed a second move abroad when he signed for German Fußball-Bundesliga side Turn- und Sportverein 1860 München. He returned to Austria in 2004 but only played one match for Admira Wacker Mödling and then went on to play at lower league sides.
He made his debut for Austria in an April 1995 European qualification match against Liechtenstein, coming on as a substitute for Herfried Sabitzer and immediately scoring his first international goal.
He only earned one other cap, again as a sub in an August 2002 friendly match against Switzerland.
