Lukas Fadinger

Lukas Fadinger of Motherwell was born in Weiz, Austria on 27 September 2000 (age 26).

Lukas Fadinger is an Austrian central midfielder, born on 27 September 2000 (age 26), who wears number eight for Motherwell. His market value is around £298,000, according to Transfermarkt.

His most productive league season came with SV Lafnitz in 2021-22, when he scored five goals in 22 appearances. That gives a fair indication of the sort of midfielder he is: not a headline act, but capable of adding something beyond basic circulation when he gets into the right areas.

At Motherwell in 2026-27, Fadinger has remained a regular first-team presence. He has made 12 league appearances and scored three league goals, while also appearing once in the League Cup, twice in the Scottish Cup, and six times in Conference League qualifying, where he has added two goals.

Across all competitions for Motherwell, he has made 21 appearances and scored five goals. It is a solid current return for a midfielder still building the main body of his senior career.
