Markus Ziereis (born 26 August 1992) is a German professional footballer who plays as a forward for Regionalliga side VfB Oldenburg.[1]

Club career[edit]

Ziereis began his career with TSV 1860 Munich and made his 2. Bundesliga debut for the club in November 2012, as a half-time substitute for Sebastian Maier in a 2–2 draw with 1. FC Union Berlin. In 2013, he joined FSV Frankfurt.[2] In order to get more playing time, he was loaned to SV Darmstadt 98.[3] In 2014, he joined Chemnitzer FC.[4]

After one season, he returned to SSV Jahn Regensburg.[2] During the 2015–16 season he contributed 19 goals in 31 league matches to Regensburg's promotion from the Regionalliga Bayern to the 3. Liga.[5] His following season was blighted by injuries and he lost his place in the starting lineup, making just 10 substitute appearances.[5]

On 10 August 2017, Ziereis returned to 1860 Munich, thereby moving two tiers down, leaving newly promoted 2. Bundesliga club Regensburg to play in the Regionalliga Bayern.[5]

He joined SpVgg Bayreuth in June 2020.[6]

He joined VfB Oldenburg in July 2023.[7] He made his debut in a 4-0 win against Kilia Kiel, where he also scored his first league goal for the club.[8]

International career[edit]

In 2007 and 2008, Ziereis earned five caps for the Germany under-16 national team.[9]

Personal life[edit]

Ziereis is best friends with Kevin Volland. The duo shared a flat while playing together at TSV 1860 Munich as they both played for Bavarian Football Association youth teams.[10][11][12] Volland was also witness when Ziereis married Evi Reiter on 28 December 2018.[13]
