Emir Karić

Emir Karić of Sturm Graz was born in Linz, Austria on 9 June 1997 (age 28).

Emir Karić, born on 9 June 1997 in Austria, is a current defender for Sturm Graz, predominantly taking the position of left back. Standing at a solid 6ft (1.84m) and tipping the scales at 10 stone and 12 pounds (69kg), Karić wields the number 17 jersey with poise. In addition to his domestic achievements, Karić has proudly donned the colours of the Bosnia national team.

His present market value is approximately £600k, with this estimation provided by the reliable Transfermarkt.

Karić's professional journey commenced with his joining of LASK in the Bundesliga division of Austrian football in July 2014. In his formative season, Karić exhibited his burgeoning talent with two first team appearances in league matches.

In July 2015, Karić transferred from LASK to FC Liefering in Austria's 2. Liga where he continued to develop. Over the span of three seasons (2015 to 2018), he played in 63 first team league matches, demonstrating his consistent worth to his team.

From FC Liefering, Karić moved to SCR Altach in Austria's Bundesliga division in July 2018. Across three seasons, covering 2018 - 2021, he accomplished an impressive 75 first team appearances, even scoring a goal in the 2019 - 2020 season.

In July 2021, Karić ventured abroad, transferring from SCR Altach to Darmstadt 98 in Germany's 2. Bundesliga. His three-year stint in Germany between 2021 and 2024 witnessed a strong performance with 80 first team appearances and four goals to his name.

July 2024 saw Karić return to his native Austria, leaving Darmstadt 98 for Sturm Graz in the Bundesliga division for an undisclosed fee. Thus far into the 2025 - 2026 season, Karić has made 19 first team appearances for Sturm Graz. He has also started twice in the Champions League Qualifiers 2025 – 2026.
