Martin Harnik (born 10 June 1987) is a German-born Austrian footballer who currently plays for Hannover 96 and for the Austrian national football team.
Erich Harnik, father of Martin, comes from Allerheiligen im Mürztal in Styria, Austria and Susann Harnik, mother of Martin, is from Hamburg. After meeting his wife, Erich migrated to that city. Martin Harnik was born in Hamburg in 1987, the youngest of three children who were raised in the Hamburg-district Kirchwerder.
Harnik started playing football in 1992 at SC Vier- und Marschlande. In early 2006, he joined the second team of Werder Bremen, playing in the third tier Regionalliga.
Due to a broken metatarsal bone, Harnik missed almost all of the first half of 2007. At the start of the 2007–08 season, the forward was promoted to the Bundesliga side of Werder Bremen, signing a contract until 2010.
On 15 August 2007, the 20-year-old made his debut for the professional team against Dinamo Zagreb, in the first leg of the third Champions League Qualification round (2–1).
His Bundesliga debut came ten days later, in a game against 1. FC Nuremberg (1–0). Being fielded in the 61st minute, he scored the winning goal for his side in the 69th minute. On 24 August 2009, it was announced that Harnik was able to leave his club SV Werder Bremen as a free agent, and six days later was loaned out to Fortuna Düsseldorf.
After one season at the 2. Bundesliga side, in which he was Fortuna's topscorer, with the Rhinelanders narrowly missing promotion to the Bundesliga, Harnik announced on 26 April 2010 that he would leave Düsseldorf.
