Florian Trinks (born 11 March 1992) is a German former professional footballer who played as an attacking midfielder.
Trinks scored his first Bundesliga goal on the last matchday of the season in Greuther Fürth's 3–1 defeat against FC Augsburg.[1]
After the referee awarded a goal in a match against SV Sandhausen on 8 December 2013, Trinks admitted he had handled the ball before it crossed the line, and the "goal" was disallowed. He was later presented with a fair-play medal in recognition of his sportsmanship.[2] [3]
After only two appearances in the first half of the 2015–16 season for Greuther Fürth, Trinks signed as a free agent with Hungarian team Ferencvárosi TC on 21 January 2016.[4]
In June 2017, Trinks joined 3. Liga club Chemnitzer FC on a two-year deal.[5] A year later, he was released by the club.[6]
In August 2018, Trinks signed with 1. FC Schweinfurt 05 in tier-four Regionalliga Bayern.[7]
Trinks retired in 2019 aged 27, after sustaining a heavy injury to his ankle.[8]
Alongside with Mario Götze and Marc-André ter Stegen, Trinks represented Germany at the 2009 UEFA European Under-17 Football Championship, in which the team won the title after his decisive free-kick goal in the overtime period of the final.[9]
Following his retirement from playing, Trinks studied to become a primary school teacher.[8] As of June 2021, he lives near Nürnberg and has two children.[8]
