Niklas Geyrhofer is an Austrian central defender, born on 11 February 2000 (age 26), whose senior career has been shaped almost entirely at Sturm Graz. He wears squad number 35 and has developed there over a long stretch rather than through a string of moves.
Sturm is plainly the main story. Across eight seasons he has made 74 league appearances and scored one league goal, with his most productive league campaign coming in 2024-25, when he played 19 times and got that goal. That is not a spectacular scoring record, but centre-halves tend to be judged on other things.
In 2025-26, Geyrhofer has made 12 appearances for Sturm Graz across all competitions, including eight in the Austrian Bundesliga and four in the Europa League. His current market value is around £1.5m, according to Transfermarkt.
Geyrhofer’s career to this point is a straightforward one: an Austrian defender who has stayed with Sturm Graz, built up steady league experience, and remained part of their first-team picture into his mid-twenties.
