Matthias Ginter (born 19 January 1994) is a German footballer who plays as a midfielder for Bundesliga club SC Freiburg.

Career

Club

Ginter began his career with SV March, before he moved to the youth squad of SC Freiburg for the 2005–06 season. With the A-youth squad, he won the Junior DFB-Pokal.

In January 2012, Ginter trained with Freiburg's first team due, in part, to a loss of several players from the roster during the winter transfer window. On 21 January 2012 Ginter made his professional debut when he was substituted in for Anton Putsila in the 70th minute against fellow relegation battlers FC Augsburg. In the 88th minute of the game, he scored the winning goal from a free-kick by Michael Lumb for his team in the 1–0 victory.[2] The goal, which came two days after Ginter's 18th birthday, made him SCF's youngest Bundesliga goalscorer in the club's history. The record was previously held by Dennis Aogo.[3] Two days later, on 23 January, Ginter signed a contract to join the first team of SC Freiburg.[4]

International

Ginter currently represents Germany at U-18 level.
