Preston Zimmerman (born November 11, 1988 in Auburn, Washington) is an American footballer who plays for Austrian club Kapfenberger SV.
Club Career
Hamburg SV
As an 18-year-old, Zimmerman joined the German team Hamburger SV, where he spent most of his time with Hamburg's reserve team[1]. As a striker, Zimmerman played 13 games and scored three goals during the 2006-2007 season.[2] Zimmerman was originally signed while he was only 17 but the contract didn't become official until he turned 18, skirting FIFA's rules on foreign transfers by minors.[3]
Kapfenberger SV
After a trial stint at Belgian club Cercle Brugge, it was announced on August 29, 2008, that Zimmerman was sold to the newly-promoted Austrian Bundesliga club Kapfenberger SV, where he signed a two-year deal.[4] Zimmerman made his Austrian Bundesliga debut as a second half substitute in a losing effort to SK Austria Kärnten, as his SV Kapfenberg failed to score in the 2-0 defeat.
International Career
Zimmerman was a last-minute addition to the U.S. team at the 2007 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Canada following an injury to Johann Smith, but he did not see any playing time. He has since been called up to U-23 camps.
