Born in
Weiz, Friesenbichler joined local team
SC Weiz at the age of five before joining Austrian giants
FK Austria Wien in 2008. After a year he moved on to
Admira Mödling and in 2010, he joined German heavyweight
Bayern Munich. For the then 16-year-old Bayern even paid a transfer fee believed to be €500,000. He enjoyed a debut
hat-trick for their U17 side and spent subsequently three years playing for their U19 squad, scoring 27 goals in 37 appearances. His impressive form lead him to be promoted to
FC Bayern Munich II for the
2012–13 Regionalliga season. However, it was the
2013–14 season that he arrived at the scene, scoring 15 goals in 22 appearances as Bayern Munich II topped their table. On 22 May 2014, Friesenbichler signed a four-year deal with Portuguese champions
Benfica on a free transfer. On 26 July 2014, he scored his first goal for
Benfica B on his debut in a friendly match win (4–3) against
Ajax II. On 22 August 2014, after not even two months at Benfica, Friesenbichler was loaned to Polish side
Lechia Gdańsk on a season-long deal. According to his father he wouldn't have had many chances to play for Benfica and was therefore looking to pick up match practice. He made his professional debut on 31 August 2014 against
Ruch Chorzów (3–3), also scoring his first goal in process. On 22 July 2015, Friesenbichler was loaned to Austria Wien for one season. Exactly a year later, the loan was extended by a further season. On 1 July 2017, he signed a permanent deal with the Austrian club. On 2 July 2019, Friesenbichler joined
VfL Osnabrück on a two-year deal. In June 2023, Friesenbichler returned to Austria with
DSV Leoben following a short spells in Latvia and Poland with
RFS and Lechia Gdańsk respectively. ==International career==
