Club career

Wolf began his career at SC Seiersberg. In February 2012 he went to USV Vasoldsberg. In the summer of 2012 he went back to JAZ GU-Süd, which has been an independent, registered football club since June of the same year. In 2014 he went to the Red Bull Salzburg Academy.

FC Red Bull Salzburg

In February 2016 he made his debut for the farmteam FC Liefering in the second division. He made his debut for FC Red Bull Salzburg in December 2016 when he came on as a substitute for Valentino Lazaro in the 75th minute against FC Schalke 04 on match day six of the 2016/17 Europa League. His debut in the Bundesliga was in the same month versus Wolfsberger AC. He came in for Takumi Minamino in the 85th minute. He scored his first Bundesliga goal on 5 August 2017 against FC Admira Wacker Mödling.

He won the UEFA Youth League with the FC Salzburg U19 team in the 2016/17 season. With seven goals and four assists, he placed 3rd in the competition's goalscorer rankings.

RB Leipzig

On 23 January 2019, Red Bull Salzburg announced that they had sold Wolf to RB Leipzig from the upcoming 2019/20 season.[1]

Short after his arrival to RB Leipzig, Wolf suffered a horrendous leg break for Austria U21 at the European Under-21 Championships in June 2019, after giving his side the lead in the 2–0 victory.[2]

Borussia Mönchengladbach

On 21 July 2020, Borussia Mönchengladbach announced the signing of Wolf on a loan deal from RB Leipzig until June 2021, with an option to buy at the end of the season. In February 2021, the director of sports Max Eberl confirmed that the move was made permanent.[3]

Swansea City (loan)

On 20 January 2022, Wolf joined EFL Championship club Swansea City on loan until the end of the season.[4] He scored his first goal for the club in a 0-4 win as Swansea City completed the first ever League double in the South Wales derby over rivals Cardiff City.

He was called up to the senior Austria squad for the UEFA Nations League matches against Croatia, Denmark, France and Denmark on 3, 6, 10 and 13 June 2022.[5]
