Patrick Farkas (born 9 September 1992) is an Austrian professional footballer who plays for Austrian Regionalliga club SV Oberwart.[1]

Club career

[edit]

FC Red Bull Salzburg

[edit]

After spending the entirety of his career with SV Mattersburg since his debut in 2009, Farkas joined Austrian giants Red Bull Salzburg in the summer of 2017 and signed a three-year contract.[2]

In his first year at the club, Farkas made 16 league appearances and scored one goal as Salzburg won their fifth Austrian Football Bundesliga title in a row.[1]

Following a lengthy time on the sidelines with a cruciate ligament injury, Farkas returned to the squad for the final of the 2018–19 Austrian Cup on 1 May 2019. He scored the opening goal before Mu'nas Dabbur headed in minutes later to make it 2–0.[3] Farkas was dismissed early in the second half for a second yellow card, but Salzburg held on for the win and lifted the trophy to secure a domestic double.[3]

2019–20 season

[edit]

On 19 July 2019, Farkas made his season debut in a match against Parndorf in the first round of the 2019–20 Austrian Cup; he scored two goals as Salzburg ran out 7–1 winners over the fourth division side.[4]

Farkas made his debut appearance in the UEFA Champions League proper with a substitute appearance against Genk on 17 September; a match that Salzburg won 6–2.[5]

On 23 December, it was reported that Farkas had suffered a stroke in training on 21 October.[6] In a video posted to the club's social media channels, Farkas said that he collapsed due to a hole in his heart caused the stroke when a blood clot shot to his brain.[6] He did not require surgery to close the hole and returned to training in late December with the goal of re-joining Salzburg's match-day squads by early 2020.[6]

Hartberg

[edit]

In January 2022, Farkas returned to Austria after 6 months in Switzerland and signed with TSV Hartberg until June 2024.[7]
