Career

edit

Neuhold joined the youth set-up of SK Sturm Graz from Grazer AK in August 2008,[2] and having advanced through the club's youth system made his debut for the second team in a 4-0 win against ASK Voitsberg in Regional League Central on 2 October 2009. He made his first-team debut in a Champions League qualifier against FC Zestafoni of Georgia on 26 July 2011.[2]

Neuhold made 10 further appearances in all competitions for Sturm in 2011/12, but new manager Peter Hyballa, who took over in June 2012, found Neuhold to be surplus to requirements and questioned his commitment in training.[3] After a trial in England with Sheffield Wednesday, Neuhold joined SC Rheindorf Altach on loan in January 2013.[4][5] At the end of the season, Altach took up their option to make Neuhold's move permanent.[6]

On 30 June 2014, Neuhold left Altach to join LASK Linz before leaving the latter almost exactly a year later to join Admira Wacker on loan for the season.[7] Admira also announced they have a right to purchase Neuhold permanently.[8]

In September 2016, Neuhold joined the reserve side of German club Eintracht Braunschweig.[9] In Summer 2017, he moved to Rot-Weiß Erfurt on a free transfer.[10]

Neuhold has represented the Austria under-21s on eleven occasions, and he has also represented his country at a number of other youth levels.
