Guido Burgstaller (born 29 April 1989) is an Austrian professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for 1. FC Nürnberg.

Club career

On 23 May 2014, Burgstaller joined Cardiff City on a three-year deal as Ole Gunnar Solskjær's second signing of the summer, after Javi Guerra. Burgstaller said "My decision to join Cardiff City was never in question when the club first contacted me, it has always been a dream for me to play in this country. I've followed Cardiff in the Premier League last season and I'm very proud and honoured to be given the chance to wear the Cardiff City jersey - I'm a big admirer of the passion of the fans."[1]

He made his debut in the Championship on 8 August, replacing Kenwyne Jones for the last 20 minutes of a 11 draw at Blackburn Rovers on the opening day of the season.[2] Five days later, he scored within four minutes of his first start as Cardiff won 21 away to Coventry City in the first round of the League Cup.[3]

On 26 January 2015, Burgstaller left Cardiff by mutual consent,[4] joining 2. Bundesliga side Nürnberg on an undisclosed deal four days later.[5]

International career

Burgstaller made his full international debut for his country on 29 February 2012, playing the last five minutes of a 31 friendly win over Finland as a replacement for Andreas Ivanschitz.[6]
