Marc Janko is an Austrian footballer who plays as a striker for Swiss Super League club FC Basel and the Austrian national team.
Over the years, Janko has affirmed himself as one of the most clinical strikers in Europe because of his strong physique, acute positioning and good aerial play. However, his lack of technique and creativity saw him struggle to take part in quick attacking combinations as strikers are expected to help create chances in addition to scoring goals.
Janko started his career playing at Admira Wacker from Modling. After successful years he came to Red Bull Salzburg. He was one of the most important players for the team, and in the end of the 2005 season he scored 11 goals in 10 matches. Janko signed a four-year contract with Dutch club FC Twente on 21 June 2010. On 30 January 2012, it was announced that Janko would sign for Porto. On 28 August 2012, after just half a year at Porto, he signed for Turkish club Trabzonspor. On 31 July 2014, Janko was announced as Sydney FC's new marquee signing for the 2014–15 A-League season. On 25 June 2015, Janko joined Swiss side FC Basel on a free transfer. He made his debut for Austria in a May 2006 friendly match against Croatia and earned his second cap in October that year against Liechtenstein. In 2009, he scored one of Austria's two goals against Lithuania on 10 October 2009. Four days later, he scored Austria's lone goal against France.
