Bio
Sam Klein’s journey from regional Queensland to European football is a story of persistence and taking opportunities when they arrive.
The Gympie-born midfielder developed through the Football Queensland pathway and Brisbane Roar academy, making his A-League Men debut for the club in 2022. After pursuing opportunities in Scandinavia, Klein returned to Queensland with Gold Coast Knights before earning another opportunity with Brisbane Roar.
A box-to-box midfielder combining work rate, physicality and technical ability, Klein established himself as a regular with the Roar and produced two strong seasons at senior level. His performances earned him a move to German club FC St. Pauli in 2026.
Having previously represented Australia at youth level, Klein’s progress in Germany was rewarded with his first CommBank Socceroos call-up in November 2026.
