Lukas Fadinger, born on 27 September 2000 (age 25), is an Austrian midfielder who plays primarily in central midfield for Motherwell. He wears the number 8 shirt and is valued at around £298,000 by Transfermarkt.
His strongest league return came in Austria with SV Lafnitz in 2021-2022, when he scored five goals in 22 appearances. That is modest enough, but for a central midfielder it points to a player capable of arriving in useful areas rather than simply shuttling the ball about for appearances’ sake.
At Motherwell in 2026-2027, Fadinger has made one league appearance and scored once. He has also played twice in the Scottish Cup and twice in Conference League qualifying, scoring two goals in those European qualifiers. Across all competitions for Motherwell, he has three goals in five appearances.
Fadinger’s career to this point has been built between Austria and Scotland, with SV Lafnitz providing his best league season and Motherwell giving him a fresh platform in the Scottish game.
