Luca Pazourek joins Hartberg on loan

Pazourek has been playing for the Violets since 2016, progressing through all the academy teams and subsequently playing for the Young Violets, the former partner club Stripfing and the Violets' professional team. On 24 February 2024, the home-grown player made his debut in the Vienna derby. In the current season, the 20-year-old has made eight appearances for the first team and has also played three times for the Young Violets in the 2nd division.

Sporting director Michael Wagner: ‘By loaning Luca to TSV Hartberg, we want to give him the opportunity to gain the necessary playing experience. We will be in close contact with him and the Hartberg officials and will closely monitor his development. As we are planning for his future with us, we have the option of ending the loan early and bringing him back in the summer.’
