Career

[edit]

Wormatia Worms

[edit]

Eichinger began his senior career with Wormatia Worms, joining the club after three years spent in the youth academy at SV Wehen Wiesbaden. In his first season with the team, he scored two goals across ten competitive appearances, receiving a one-year contract extension in the summer of 2021.[1] Upon the expiry of his contract prior to the 2022–23 season, he departed the team, following 32 appearances and 17 goals across all competitions with the club.[2]

FSV Zwickau

[edit]

In early July 2022, Eichinger went on trial with 3. Liga club FSV Zwickau, joining the team's Austria training camp.[3] On 13 July, the club announced that Eichinger had signed a two-year professional contract with the club, marking the team's eighth signing of the summer.[4] He made his competitive debut in the club's opening match of the season, coming on as a 65th-minute substitute for Ronny König in a 3–2 victory over Hallescher FC.[5] In that match, Eichinger scored his first professional goal, making the score 3–1 in favor of Zwickau.[6] He would play three more games for the club during the month of August, before breaking his right metatarsal in training prior to the match against SpVgg Bayreuth.[7] He would return at the end of October, registering an assist in his second game back from injury as Zwickau secured a critical victory over VfL Osnabrück.[8]

Jahn Regensburg

[edit]

Following Zwickau's relegation from the 3. Liga at the end of the 2022–23 season, Eichinger followed former head coach Joe Enochs to Jahn Regensburg.[9] He made his competitive debut for the club on 14 August 2023, coming on as a substitute for Dominik Kother in the 88th minute of a 2–1 first round DFB-Pokal defeat to FC Magdeburg.[10] In January 2024, after finding himself on the fringes of the first team at Jahn Regensburg, Eichinger was loaned to Greifswalder FC for the remainder of the season.[11]

On 31 August 2024, Eichinger moved on loan to Lokomotive Leipzig in Regionalliga.[12]
