Alexander Briedl

Alexander Briedl of Aberdeen was born in Salzburg, Austria on 21 April 2002 (age 24).

Alexander Briedl, born on 21 April 2002 (age 24), is an Austrian defensive midfielder with Aberdeen. He wears the number 10 shirt, though his work is more about structure than decoration.

His senior career is still shaped mainly by Blau-Weiss Linz. Across four seasons there he made 93 league appearances and scored three league goals, giving him the kind of steady grounding that tends to matter more than it flatters a highlights reel. His most productive league season came in 2023-24, when he scored once in 22 appearances.

At Aberdeen in 2026-27, Briedl has made two league appearances and two more in the League Cup. That leaves him at four appearances in all competitions for the club so far.

Briedl’s career to this point is a practical one: built at Blau-Weiss Linz, then continued in Scotland with Aberdeen. The scale of his Aberdeen spell is still taking shape.
