Recently, we reported that at the start of the new season in Austria, Erik Kojzek, an 18-year-old footballer from Slovenia, made a name for himself. Since the age of twelve, he has been earning his place at the local top-tier club Wolfsberger AC. After transferring from Korotan, he patiently advanced through the youth ranks in Austria, played for the amateur team last season, and impressed the first-team coach Didi Kühbauer during the summer preparations.
Erik Kojzek debuted in the ÖFB Cup with two goals, and a few days later, played his first 29 minutes in the elite Austrian Bundesliga. During this time, he evidently showed more than enough, leading Wolfsburger AC to offer him a professional contract, which the promising Slovenian happily accepted. Erik Kojzek is expected to play for Wolfsberger AC for the next three years.
“I am very happy to have signed a professional contract, and I am grateful to my club for the trust and opportunity given to me. This has always been my dream, and I am ready to continue working hard to further develop as a footballer. Signing the contract is undoubtedly a big moment in my career, but it is also just the beginning. Without the support of my parents and friends, none of this would have been possible, so I would like to thank them here,” said Erik Kojzek for the club’s official website, who has so far scored 67 goals in 137 matches across all categories in Austria.
