About
Jannik Schuster is an Austrian defender who plays for Brentford. Born in Hall in Tirol on 16 May 2006, he joined the Red Bull Salzburg academy in 2020 and broke through professionally with feeder club FC Liefering in the 2. Liga, where he made 39 league appearances and scored twice. A composed, ball-playing centre-back comfortable dictating play from the back, he forced his way into the senior Salzburg side, featuring 29 times in a single campaign and gaining European pedigree with three Europa League outings, including a start against Premier League opposition. An Austria Under-21 international who has represented his country through the youth ranks, Schuster completed his move to Brentford from Salzburg as a 19-year-old, with the Bees drawn to his aerial strength, high passing accuracy and clearance numbers. He signed a contract running until June 2031, with the option of a further year, marking him as a long-term project for the west London club.
