Markus Ziereis (born 26 August 1992) is a German professional footballer who plays as a forward for Regionalliga side VfB Oldenburg.[1]
Club career
Ziereis began his career with TSV 1860 Munich and made his 2. Bundesliga debut for the club in November 2012, as a half-time substitute for Sebastian Maier in a 2–2 draw with 1. FC Union Berlin. In 2013, he joined FSV Frankfurt.[2] In order to get more playing time, he was loaned to SV Darmstadt 98.[3] In 2014, he joined Chemnitzer FC.[4]
After one season, he returned to SSV Jahn Regensburg.[2] During the 2015–16 season he contributed 19 goals in 31 league matches to Regensburg's promotion from the Regionalliga Bayern to the 3.
