Raphael Sallinger, born on 8 December 1995 (age 30), is an Austrian goalkeeper now with Hibernian. At 6ft 6in (1.97m), he is an imposing presence, and he wears the number 1 shirt at Easter Road.
The bulk of Sallinger’s senior career has been shaped by TSV Hartberg, where he made 90 league appearances across six seasons. That spell carries far more weight than the smaller stops around it, including a brief league appearance for Wolfsberger AC in 2016–17.
At Hibernian in 2025–26, Sallinger has remained a regular first-team figure, making 31 league appearances, along with two in the League Cup and one in the Scottish Cup. His form has been solid overall, though his most recent outings have dipped a little. His current market value is around £383,000, according to Transfermarkt.
Sallinger’s career is still best understood through his long Hartberg spell, but he remains active and relevant in Scotland as Hibernian’s first-choice goalkeeper.
