Alexander Prass (born 26 May 2001) is an Austrian professional footballer who plays as a central midfielder or left wing-back for Bundesliga club TSG Hoffenheim and the Austria national team. [1]
Born in Hellmonsödt, Upper Austria, Prass began his career as a youth player at LASK. [2] Between 2009 and 2010 he played at FC Pasching before returning to LASK. For the 2012–13 season he moved to the youth team of Red Bull Salzburg, where he would later also play in the academy.
In March 2019 he was named for the first time in the matchday squad of Salzburg feeder team FC Liefering for a game against SK Vorwärts Steyr, but did not come on. He made his debut for Liefering in the second flight in the same month when he came on as an 87th minute substitute for Karim Adeyemi against Austria Wien II. In two and a half years with Liefering, he made a total of 59 second division appearances, in which he scored twelve goals.
For the 2021–22 season he moved to Ö Bundesliga club Sturm Graz, where he received a contract until June 2024, extending this for a year in July 2022 to keep him at the club until the end of the 2024–25 season. [3]
On 5 August 2024, Prass signed for Bundesliga club TSG Hoffenheim on a long-term contract. [4]
Prass made his Austrian U-18 debut on 9 October 2018 against Switzerland's U-18 squad. Just two days later, he scored his first goal for an Austrian squad, this time against Switzerland. In October 2019, he made his debut for the Austrian U-19 squad in a match against Wales U-19. By March 2021, he had made his debut for the Austrian U-21 squad against Saudi Arabia.
In November 2022, the winger received his first call-up to the senior Austrian national team. [5] He made his senior debut later that month in a match against the Andorra national team. In May 2024, he was named in Austria's preliminary squad for the 2024 European Championship [6] and was eventually included in the final squad. [7] Austria was eliminated in the round of 16, losing 1-2 to the Turkey national team, but Prass appeared in all four of Austria's matches during the tournament.
