Erwin "Jimmy" Hoffer (born 14 April 1987) is an Austrian football striker who currently plays for Eintracht Frankfurt, on loan from Napoli, and the Austria national team.[1]

[edit] Club career
Hoffer started his professional career at 17 with VfB Admira Wacker Mödling and moved to Rapid Wien after two seasons. He won the Austrian Football Bundesliga title with Rapid in the 2007–08 season and scored a hat-trick in their 7–0 victory against Red Bull Salzburg.
On 28 July 2009, Napoli have signed the striker on a five-year deal, for €5 million.[2][3][4] He scored his first goal with the partenopei on 16 August 2009 in the Coppa Italia match Napoli-Salernitana (3–0).[5] After making eight appearances and scoring none, Hoffer made it clear he was unhappy with the lack of playing time he endured at Napoli and eventually joined German side 1. FC Kaiserslautern on loan. The deal did not include a buy option. Following his move to Kaiserslautern, Hoffer hoped he could have more of an impact in Germany.[6] Hoffer made good performance and made 24 appearances scoring five. His next loan move was another German side Eintracht Frankfurt who had been relegated to 2. Fußball-Bundesliga on a season long loan with the club having the option of making the deal permanent, if they achieve promotion.[7]
[edit] International career
During the U-20 World Cup in Canada, Hoffer shaved the name "Jimmy" into one side of his head after receiving that nickname from a coach.[8] The nickname is a reference to Jimmy Hoffa.[8]
He was part of the Austrian squad that played at Euro 2008,[9] a competition which Austria co-hosted along with Switzerland. The only match that Hoffer started in was their last group match against Germany in Vienna.
On 1 April 2009, Hoffer scored two goals for Austria in a 2–1 win over Romania in a Qualification match for the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
