WSG Tirol land Balic to strengthen attack

WSG Tirol have announced the signing of Husein Balic on Monday. The 30-year-old winger had been without a club since February, after leaving Polish second-tier side LKS Lodz. His profile fits WSG Tirol’s needs perfectly: Balic brings Bundesliga experience, a single cap for Austria’s national team, and promises to add pace and creativity to the wing play.

Why Balic is the right man at the right time

Stefan Köck, WSG Tirol’s sporting director, highlighted the transfer’s significance: „We’re very happy to have Husein Balic join WSG Tirol. He’s an experienced, composed attacker with Bundesliga and international experience. He’ll bring extra quality, tempo and penetration to our wing play.“ At 30, Balic isn’t just a player — he’s expected to guide young talents. His 150 Bundesliga appearances for St. Pölten, LASK and Altach make him a proven asset.

Balic’s career so far

Born on 15 February 1996, Balic has already played for three different Austrian top-flight clubs. His only international cap came in November 2020. After his Polish stint ended in February 2026, he stayed without a club until WSG Tirol swooped in. Transfermarkt currently values him at €100,000.

What’s next for Balic and WSG Tirol

Balic has signed for WSG Tirol and will feature as a left midfielder or winger under Philipp Semlic. The Serie B 2026/27 season kicks off in weeks — Balic could make his competitive debut soon. Whether he starts regularly depends on his fitness and Semlic’s tactics.
