Kai Lukas Stratznig (born 15 April 2002) is an Austrian professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for First Vienna.[3]

Club career

[edit]

Born in Spittal an der Drau, Stratznig grew up in Mühldorf and began his career at the local club SC Mühldorf.[1] Ahead of the 2016–17 season, he joined the academy of Wolfsberger AC. In March 2019, he made his debut for the reserve team in the Austrian Regionalliga against FC Wels.[4] By the end of the 2018–19 season, he had made 11 appearances at the third level.[2]

In June 2020, Stratznig was included in the first-team squad for the first time for the match against Sturm Graz. He made his Bundesliga debut the same month when he came on as a substitute for Romano Schmid in the 75th minute of a 4–2 loss to TSV Hartberg on 10 June.[5] He made his first appearance in the starting eleven on 21 June in a 2–2 draw against Red Bull Salzburg.[6]

He suffered an ankle injury in a game against Red Bull Salzburg in February 2022, ruling him out for an extended period.[7] Stratznig left Wolfsberger AC as his contract expired at the end of the 2021–22 season, after declining an extension offer by the club.[8] On 23 February 2023 he joined Second League club First Vienna FC.

International career

[edit]

In March 2021, Stratznig made his international debut for the Austria U21 team against Saudi Arabia.[9]
