From the Landesliga championship to the 2nd league defender: a success story

An exciting step for a young player from the region: The 22-year-old, who was only active in the 1st grade a few years ago, now gets the chance to play in the 2nd Bundesliga for SC Voitsberg. His journey began in the Oberliga, where his then coach Walther Eccher gave him his trust and let him on the field. "I am grateful to him to this day," explains the defender and is modest into the way he has taken.

After a short Hiccup, which temporarily attributed him to the Landesliga, he is now proud to have found a permanent place in the Voitsberg team. "Sometimes you just have to take a step back to go two," he reflects on his experiences. This shows how important it is to learn from defeats and take opportunities when they offer.

The decision to play for Voitsberg came through a supposed coincidence. In Frauental, the player learned from a teammate that Voitsberg was looking for a defender. Fast action was the key for him. "I knew that was my chance, so I just called the coach and recommended myself. The next day I signed," he says. This initiative speaks for its character and ambition.

The immediate proximity to his home town is another reason to be happy. Voitsberg is only ten minutes away, which gives him emotional support. In the new environment he can count on the support of his family and friends while he plunges into the challenges of the 2nd Bundesliga.

The promotion to the 2nd Bundesliga not only represents a personal success, but is also an exciting step for the entire team. With fresh wind and a committed player like him, the upcoming encounters for Voitsberg could be extremely interesting.

This development is not only important for the player himself, but also for the region, which always looks a little more alive through such talents. The story shows how important it is to take advantage of opportunities and to develop steadily, even if the path is sometimes bumpy.
