Noah Botić is moving to Austria Vienna: A new star in the Viennese sky!

An exciting new signing for Austria Vienna: 23-year-old Australian Noah Botić has decided to continue his career with the traditional club. The Sydney native, who has already made waves in the football world, comes from Western United, where he established himself as one of the A-League's best strikers. His path to the club has been marked by notable successes, including strong performances in recent championships.

Not only was Botić born in Sydney, but he also grew up playing football there and played for various clubs in his youth before moving to Rockdale Ilinden in 2018. His talent was evident early on: at the 2018 U16 Asian Championship, he scored five goals in five games and was named joint top scorer.

Successful career

The breakthrough came in 2019 when Botić moved to TSG Hoffenheim and even made appearances at a number of renowned clubs, including Manchester United and Bayern Munich. He also earned the Dylan Tombides Medal for the best Australian player in the U17 to U23 age groups. He celebrated his first major title in 2022 with Western United, where he initially had to find his way in a subordinate role. But in the 2022/23 season he fought his way into the starting line-up and became an indispensable player.

2024/25 was a standout year for Botić, where he scored an impressive twelve goals in 26 A-League games and finished second in the scoring list. His decisive hat-trick in the quarter-final of the championship play-off against Adelaide United secured his team's place in the semi-finals, although they lost to Melbourne City. Sports director Manuel Ortlechner from Austria Vienna described the new signing as a complete striker who is characterized by his instinct for goal and his strong attitude. The needs of the club and the vision of European football that Botić strives for contributed to his move to Austria.

His national team career is also already impressive: Botić played for Australia's U16 and U17 teams, where he took part in major tournaments. He scored four goals at the 2019 U17 World Cup in Brazil and was instrumental in his team's success. With the U17 national team, often affectionately called “Joeys”, he has made a name for himself not only nationally but also internationally. The goal of shining on the big stage also drives him.
