Club career

edit

After representing SV Landeck and AKA Tirol as a youth, Zangerl's first professional club was FC Wacker Inssbruck's reserve team. On 27 January 2011 he moved to WSG Wattens, and scored an impressive mark of 29 goals in 30 matches during the 2013–14 campaign.

On 30 May 2014, Zangerl returned to Wacker, now to the first team in Austrian Football First League.[1] He played his first match as a professional on 25 July, coming on as a second half substitute for Thomas Hirschhofer in a 1–2 home loss against SC Austria Lustenau; he scored his first (and only) goal for the senior side on 19 September, in a 1–1 draw at the same opponent.

Zangerl returned to Wattens on 29 June 2015,[2] and scored a career-best 32 goals in 30 matches. Exactly one year later he signed a two-year contract with Spanish Segunda División B club CD Atlético Baleares.[3]
