Andreas "Andi" Weimann (German pronunciation: [vaɪman]; born 7 August 1991) is an Austrian footballer who plays for English club Wolverhampton Wanderers (Wolves), on loan from Derby County, and the Austria national team as a forward or winger. He has represented Austria at full international level and also played for Watford during two separate loan spells in 2011. Weimann was signed by Aston Villa as a sixteen-year-old from Rapid Vienna and went on to make over 100 appearances in the Premier League before his transfer to Derby County. He joined Wolves on loan in January 2017.
Born in Vienna, Weimann began his career at hometown club FC Stadlau before joining Rapid Wien as a thirteen-year-old. He remained there for three years, before being signed by Premier League club Aston Villa, joining the club alongside fellow Austrian Dominik Hofbauer (now of SKN St. Pölten). He has since mentioned that he still supports Rapid.
Weimann represented the club during the 2009 Peace Cup against Juventus, Atlante and F.C. Porto. The striker was an important figure in Aston Villa's Reserve team, particularly in the 2009–10 season filling the void left by Nathan Delfouneso where he finished the season as the Reserve South League's top scorer with nine goals.
