Sven Sprangler, a versatile midfielder born in Austria on 27 March 1995, currently dons the number 23 for St Johnstone in Scotland's Premiership division. His robust physique, standing tall at 5ft 11in (1.82m) and weighing 12st 1lb (77kg), tends to serve him well on the pitch, particularly in his preferred role as a central defensive midfielder.
Sprangler's current market value, as per Transfermarkt, is approximately £191k. As we cross the midpoint of 2025, his contract with St Johnstone is also teetering on the brink of completion, set to expire on 31 May 2025.
Sprangler commenced his professional career in July 2010 with SV Mattersburg in the regional league of Austria. Over the course of his initial four seasons (2010 - 2014), he made steady progress with regular first-team appearances; he brought his tally to 91 appearances, contributing three goals in the 2014 - 2015 term
Seeking new challenges, Sprangler took a step up to Austria's Bundesliga in July 2017, joining TSV Hartberg. His solo season with Hartberg saw him make 35 league appearances.
Without missing a beat, Sprangler made another domestic shift in July 2018 to Wolfsberger AC. His four-season stint (2018 - 2022) with Wolfsberger was marked by variable consistency, participating in a total of 55 league matches over this period.
A period of transition followed in 2022 as Sprangler made brief stops at unmentioned clubs before heading to Vorwärts Steyr in the Austrian regional league in February 2023. His time at Steyr saw him record 12 appearances and a singular league goal in the 2022 - 2023 season.
However, in September 2023 Sprangler made a significant move, crossing borders, and joining St Johnstone in Scotland's Premiership. In the short span of his St Johnstone career (2023 - 2025), he has made a reasonable impact with 47 league appearances. He also had a taste of local cup competitions, featuring in the League Cup and the Scottish Cup for St Johnstone in the 2024 - 2025 season.
