Alexander Briedl

In Premiership 2026 - 2027 Briedl has made 3 appearances – 2 starts and 1 as a substitute – and has scored 0 goals while picking up one yellow; he has also played four League Cup matches. Those numbers position him as a squad central defensive midfielder used for rotation and cup duty rather than a consistent starter early in the campaign.

Briedl is a 24-year-old Austrian whose career progressed from a trainee spell at FC Liefering in July 2015 through SV Horn and Blau-Weiss Linz before moving to Aberdeen in July 2026. The sequence of clubs shows steady progression through Austria’s development and lower-league system into the Scottish Premiership rather than a rapid rise or a late-career revival.

His transfers reveal a low-cost upward trajectory – he signed for Aberdeen from Blau-Weiss Linz in July 2026 on a free transfer, had joined Blau-Weiss Linz from SV Horn in July 2022 on a free transfer, and moved from FC Liefering to SV Horn in January 2021 for an undisclosed fee after entering FC Liefering as a trainee in July 2015. The recent moves represent a step up in level while involving no reported fees.
