Career
[edit]Drexler played as a teenager for Bonner SC,[2] Alemannia Aachen,[3] and Bayer Leverkusen[2] before joining Rot-Weiß Erfurt in 2010.[4] He made his debut for the club in September of that year, as a substitute for Tino Semmer in a Thuringia derby against Carl Zeiss Jena which Erfurt won 2–1. He finished the 2010–11 season with four goals in 19 appearances.[5] He scored eight goals in 34 appearances in the 2011–12 season[6] and four goals in 28 appearances in the 2012–13 season.[7]
In July 2013, he signed for Greuther Fürth, where he spent the 2012–13 season,[4] scoring a goal in 11 competitive matches.[2] He also scored four goals in five matches for the reserve team.[2] Then he joined VfR Aalen for the 2014–15 season.[4] He scored one goal in 26 competitive appearances.[8] In the following season, he scored nine goals in 32 competitive appearances.[9] He then joined Holstein Kiel for the 2016-17 season.[4] During that season, he scored seven goals in 35 appearances.[10] During the 2017–18 season, he scored 14 goals in 34 appearances.[11] This includes two goals in two appearances in the DFB Pokal and an appearance in the Promotion playoff.[11]
