Raphael Sallinger, born on 8 December 1995 (age 30), is an Austrian goalkeeper now with Hibernian, where he wears the number 1 shirt. A towering 6ft 6in (1.97m), he is valued at around £383,000 by Transfermarkt.
His senior career only really began to take shape in 2016–17, when he made a single league appearance for Wolfsberger AC. That was a small entry point rather than the story itself. The substance came at TSV Hartberg, where he became a long-serving presence in goal, making 90 league appearances across six seasons.
Hartberg is the club that gives his career its shape. Sallinger’s time there was not a passing stop on the way to somewhere else, but the spell in which he gathered the bulk of his senior football and established himself as a reliable Austrian top-flight goalkeeper.
At Hibernian in 2026–27, he has made seven league appearances, along with two in the League Cup, one in the Scottish Cup and six in Conference League qualifiers. Across all competitions for Hibs, he has 16 appearances.
Sallinger’s career has moved from a brief early outing at Wolfsberger AC to a substantial Hartberg spell, and now to Hibernian. It is a straightforward record, with Hartberg still the central chapter.
