Swiss-born forward Christian Fassnacht, born on 11 March 1993, has carved out a professional football career playing primarily as a right winger. Fassnacht currently plays for Young Boys Bern, donning the number 16 jersey. Standing at an industrious 6ft (1.85m) tall and weighing approximately 12st 1lb (77kg), Fassnacht's physical presence on the pitch is notable.
In terms of financial worth, Fassnacht's current market value stands at around £1.7m, a figure collated and verified by Transfermarkt. His contractual obligations to Young Boys Bern extend for a further two years and six months, with a set expiration date of 30 June 2027.
Fassnacht began his professional career in the Swiss league, making his debut in the 2014 - 2015 season at Winterthur. He impressed, making 13 first team appearances and scoring two goals. In the following season, he saw significantly more pitch time, making 34 first team appearances and netting nine goals.
In the 2016 - 2017 season, his tenacity and goal-scoring prowess earned him a move to Thun, where he continued to flourish, making 35 first team appearances and scoring ten goals.
In 2017, Fassnacht made the move to Young Boys Bern, where he has remained a steady fixture in the squad ever since. Over the course of several seasons spanning 2017 to 2023, Fassnacht made significant contributions to the team, ranging from 18 to 36 first team appearances per season and scoring between seven and 11 goals each season.
However, the 2023 - 2024 season saw Fassnacht wave goodbye to Swiss football as he made the leap to the English league, signing for Norwich City. His time there was rather productive, making 40 first team appearances and scoring six goals. Excitingly, he continues to venture on with Norwich City in the current 2024 - 2025 season, having already made three first team appearances.
Considering Fassnacht's career journey thus far, the 2024 - 2025 season stands out as it marks the first time he has not made a first team appearance for Young Boys Bern since his initial signing back in 2017. As such, it appears that his future for now lies firmly in England's green and pleasant football fields.
