Sven Sprangler, born on a crisp day of 27 March 1995, hails from the Alpine plains of Austria. Now in his thirties, he pitches his skills in the green expanse that is a football pitch as a lauded central defensive midfielder for St Johnstone. Standing steadfast at 5 foot 11 inches (or, for the metrically minded, 1.82 meters), Sprangler's presence is known; his 12 stone 1 pound (or 77 kilograms in convenient continental measurements) frame donning the esteemed number 23 jersey.

In the summer of 2022, we find our protagonist again betwixt travels, with a pitstop at Vorwärts Steyr. During the 2022-2023 season, Sprangler placed his signature mark on 12 matches, one of which concluded with a particularly sweet taste as he slotted home a goal.
