Florian Niederlechner (born 24 October 1990) is a German footballer who plays as a forward for SC Freiburg, on loan from Mainz 05.[1]
Career
Niederlechner's career is considered atypical since he became a Bundesliga player without passing through the youth ranks of a professional club. At the age of twelve, after a single year with the club, he was forced to the leave the under-13 team of 1860 Munich being deemed too small and too slow. He moved to the local Kreisliga club TSV Ebersberg, starting playing senior football for Landesliga side FC Falke Markt Schwaben in 2008. At the time he completed his vocational training as industrial management assistant.[2][3]
In 2010, he joined fifth tier Bayernliga side FC Ismaning. There he created a stir by scoring 19 goals in the 2010-11 season, eventually receiving and accepting an offer from 3. Liga's SpVgg Unterhaching, which was due financial difficulties forced to bet on young talents. For Unterhaching, Niederlechner continued to be a successful striker, scoring eight goals in the 2011–12 season and another eight in the first leg of the next campaign. During the winter break 2012–13, he made the next move, this time to ambitious fellow 3. Liga side 1. FC Heidenheim, with whom he achieved promotion to the 2. Bundesliga in 2014. After 15 goals and ten assists in 33 league matches, Heidenheim also finishing 8th as promoted team, he finally made the step to the Bundesliga, joining Mainz 05. A move that was also worth a transfer fee of reportedly €2 million.[2][3]
He was loaned to SC Freiburg on 31 January 2016.[4]
Personal life
He shares a flat with one of his best friends, Michael Vitzthum, who had been his team mate at Heidenheim, and now plays for SV Wehen Wiesbaden.[3]
