Andrew Stadler (born 1 May 1988) is an American footballer who plays for Östersunds FK as a forward.[1]

Career

Stadler started out playing youth football for the local club Polonia SC which his grandfather had founded after immigrating over to America during World War II.[2] After playing for his high school he received a scholarship to join the George Washington Colonials men's soccer college team.[3] During his time in college Stadler scored 35 goals in 60 games and was on the watchlist for the Hermann Trophy during his senior year.[4] After graduating he could not even find a trial with an American club and instead had to work as a concierge until a friend contacted him about the opportunity to play for Färila IF in the sixth tier of Swedish football.[3]

After only playing three games for Färila he was signed by fourth tier club Sandvikens IF where he remained for the following two and a half years. During his time with the club they played against Malmö FF in the Svenska Cupen where Stadler left a good impression on the Malmö assistant manager Jörgen Pettersson. And when Pettersson took over as manager for Superettan side Landskrona BoIS he signed Stadler to the club. At the end of his first season with Landskrona the club was relegated but the following summer he returned to Superettan when he was bought by league leaders Östersunds FK. The club was promoted to the top tier at the end of the year and in the third round of the 2016 Allsvenskan Stadler both assisted and scored for the first time in a top flight as Östersund recorded their first ever Allsvenskan victory.[3]

Personal life

Stadler has a bachelor's degree in criminal law.[4]
