Jacob Hödl, born on 31 January 2007 (age 19), is an Austrian central midfielder whose career so far has been shaped almost entirely within the Sturm Graz system.
His clearest early return came with Sturm Graz II in 2024-25, when he scored three times in 20 league appearances. That was the most productive league season of his young career, and it gave him a platform rather than a finished reputation.
At Sturm Graz, he has made 44 league appearances across three seasons, scoring twice. In 2026-27, he has been involved across a broader run of games, with 10 Bundesliga appearances, four in Champions League qualifying and three in the Europa League, making 17 appearances in all competitions.
Hödl remains a developing Austrian midfielder with his senior career still centred on Sturm Graz. The shape of it is straightforward: progress through the club structure, a useful spell with the second side, and increasing first-team exposure.
