Markus Pink

Markus Pink's best campaign came at SV Mattersburg, where he finished the 2014–15 Austrian Football First League season as its top scorer with 21 goals and helped the club to the league title. Across five seasons at Mattersburg he made 114 appearances and scored 40 goals.

Pink's route there was not straightforward. He started out at SK Austria Kärnten and SK Austria Klagenfurt in his native Klagenfurt before a season at amateur side ASKÖ Köttmannsdorf, where he scored around 30 goals in 29 appearances. First Vienna FC picked him up next, and 10 goals in 29 matches there set up the move to Mattersburg.

After spells at SK Sturm Graz and FC Admira Wacker Mödling, Pink returned to SK Austria Klagenfurt in 2020 and enjoyed his most productive run of appearances, scoring 46 goals in 82 games and winning the Austrian Cup in 2021–22. That form earned him a move abroad in April 2023, when Shanghai Port FC signed him for a fee of around €0.2 million; he scored twice in 15 appearances there and won the Chinese Super League title with the club that year.

Pink returned to Austria with SV Sandhausen in 2024, scoring 5 goals in 18 matches, before joining Wolfsberger AC, where he has scored 12 goals in 44 appearances. He represented Austria at under-19 and under-21 level but has not been capped by the senior national team.
