Florian Grillitsch, born on 7 August 1995 (age 30), is an Austrian defensive midfielder whose career has been shaped above all by his long spell at 1899 Hoffenheim.
He first made his mark in Germany with Werder Bremen, where the 2016-17 season was his most productive in the league: 23 appearances and two goals. That gave him a proper platform before the move to Hoffenheim, where his game settled into its most recognisable form – disciplined, tidy, and built around control rather than theatre.
At Hoffenheim he has made 168 league appearances across seven seasons, scoring four times. That is the substance of his career, rather than the noise around it. His current market value is around £1.5m, according to Transfermarkt.
Grillitsch’s profile is straightforward: an experienced Austrian midfielder, developed in the Bundesliga, with Hoffenheim providing the main body of his senior career.
