Career

First years

Drexler began playing football at the age of five at 1. SF Brüser Berg , a Bonn district club . Via Bonner SC and Alemannia Aachen , he made it into the A-youth team at Bayer 04 Leverkusen in 2007 , for whom he played in the A-youth division West. There he scored 26 goals in 46 games in two years. In the second year he was the team's top scorer with 16 goals in 24 point games. In the following year he played in the Werkself regional league team. After a year he left Leverkusen and in 2010 moved to the third division Rot-Weiß Erfurt .

After initial injury problems, he made his professional debut in the first team as a substitute on the 10th matchday of the 3rd division. In the second half of the season he scored his first professional goal on March 4, 2011: His joker goal at the last minute brought the win against Kickers Offenbach . In the end of the season, in which RW Erfurt was playing for promotion to the 2nd Bundesliga, Drexler moved up into the starting line-up. In the 2011/12 season he was a regular player, mostly in the left midfield. In 34 games of the season he scored eight goals and prepared five more goals. After this season, SpVgg Greuther Fürth wanted to bring him to Franconia , but RW Erfurt did not let him go because he still had a year contract with the Thuringians. After the two clubs had not agreed on a transfer fee, Drexler stayed in Erfurt. In his final season he scored four goals and set up eight more.

SpVgg Greuther Fürth, VfR Aalen and Holstein Kiel

For the 2013/14 season he finally signed a contract with SpVgg Greuther Fürth with a term until summer 2015. He played his first competitive game on August 4th in the first round of the DFB Cup in a 2-0 win against TSG Pfeddersheim . He made his second division debut on the 4th matchday in the away game against Karlsruher SC when he came on in the 70th minute and scored his first competitive goal for SpVgg in the 86th minute with the 2-1 winning goal. Overall, however, he could not prevail at the Franconia and completed nine second division games during the entire season, four of them from the start. He was also used five times for the second team in the Regionalliga Bayern, where he scored four goals. After a year Drexler left Fürth and switched to league competitor VfR Aalen , with whom he signed a contract that ran until 2016. With the club he was relegated to the 3rd division in 2015.

At the end of the 2015/16 season , in which Drexler had contributed nine goals and seven assists to keeping the Aalen team up, he moved to Holstein Kiel and received a contract that ran until 2019. This term was extended by another year through promotion to the 2nd Bundesliga .

Via Denmark to Cologne

After Drexler had missed promotion to the Bundesliga with the “Störchen” in the relegation of the 2017/18 season against VfL Wolfsburg , he signed a contract with the Danish champions FC Midtjylland on May 30, 2018 for the 2018/19 season . Just three weeks later he left FC Midtjylland and joined 1. FC Köln . Drexler received a four-year contract with the Bundesliga relegated team and played again under Markus Anfang , under whom he had already played in Kiel.
