Club career
editBorn in Vienna, Pürk made his professional league debut for Austria Wien in the 1992–93 season but he moved to city rivals Rapid Wien for a very successful 1994–95 season in which he was the country's highest native goalscorer (with Mario Haas and Thomas Janeschitz), he won his first cap and he was chosen Footballer of the Year by his fellow players. It earned him a move to Spanish outfit Real Sociedad only to return to Austria and join Sturm Graz a year later. He also had one season at Sturm, then rejoined Rapid for another two and sealed a second move abroad when he signed for German Bundesliga side TSV 1860 Munich. He returned to Austria in 2004 but only played one match for Admira Wacker Mödling and then went on to play at lower league sides.
International career
editPürk made his debut for the Austria national team in April 1995.[2] He replaced Herfried Sabitzer in the 69th minute of the UEFA Euro 1996 qualifier against Liechtenstein before scoring in the 84th minute of the 7−0 victory at Stadion Lehen in Salzburg.[2][3] He earned a second cap in August 2002 when he featured in the friendly against Switzerland at St. Jakob-Park in Basel.[2][4]
