Heinz Binder made a name for himself as a defender in the stopper position, but was also able to help out in midfield.

Nevertheless, the Austria time was quite successful for the defender, because he was able to play in the national team and, after a successful debut in the 3-2 win against Yugoslavia on September 27, 1964, strongly recommend himself to the team. In total he made nine appearances for Austria by 1966, but failed to qualify for the '66 World Cup .

In 1967 he switched to FC Wacker Innsbruck , where Heinz Binder was ultimately able to become Austrian champion after winning the cup in 1970, 1970/71 and now as SSW Innsbruck 1971/72 .
