Philipp Hosiner is an Austrian striker currently leading the line for Young Violets Austria Wien, remembered for a prolific spell that once made him one of the most talked-about forwards in Austrian football. Born on May 15, 1989, the 36-year-old enjoyed the peak of his career earlier this decade, notably finishing as the Austrian Bundesliga's top scorer with 32 goals for Austria Wien in the 2012-13 season, a record-breaking tally that earned him the league's MVP award. That golden boot-winning campaign propelled his team to the league title and cemented his status as a clinical finisher. His career has since seen him play in Germany and return to Austria, where he now offers experience and a proven goal threat to the Young Violets. Hosiner's style is that of a classic penalty-box predator, with intelligent movement and a lethal left foot. Though his market value now sits at €100,000, he remains a respected figure for his past achievements and enduring quality in front of goal.
