Leopold Zingerle (born 10 April 1994) is a German professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for 2. Bundesliga club SC Paderborn 07.[1]

Playing career[]

Zingerle was born and raised in Munich. He spent his entire career as a youth footballer with Bayern Munich, making it all the way to becoming the first-choice goalkeeper for the club's reserve team and frequently training with the first team during that time.[2] As the fourth-choice goalkeeper in the first team during the 2013–14 season, he was named on the bench for a Bundesliga match at Augsburg in April 2014, due to injuries to Tom Starke and Lukas Raeder.[3] However, he did not manage to make an appearance for the first team in a competitive match and left Bayern Munich in the summer of 2015, after spending 13 years at the club.[2]

Zingerle went on to join Greuther Fürth of the 2. Bundesliga, but only managed to make 12 appearances for their reserves in the fourth tier of German football.[4] He left the club for 1. FC Magdeburg of the 3. Liga ahead of the 2016–17 season, during which he appeared in a total of 21 league matches.[5][4]

In the summer of 2017, Zingerle moved to SC Paderborn 07, who also competed in the 3. Liga at the time, and went on to be the club's first-choice goalkeeper over the next four seasons.[4] During his first two seasons with SC Paderborn 07, the club got promoted twice, which allowed him to make his debut in the Bundesliga and appear in a total of 28 matches in the top flight in 2019–20.[4] Following the club's relegation back to the 2. Bundesliga at the end of that season, Zingerle kept his place as a regular and signed a two-year contract extension in February 2021.[4][6]
