Pföderl began his career in the junior departments of EC Bad Tölz and, after his junior years , moved to the DNL team of his home club in 2008 . At Bad Tölz, which is one of the top teams in the German junior league, he was the league's top scorer with 32 goals in his second DNL season 2009/10 with Mirko Höfflin . In this 2009/10 season he also played for the first team, the Tölzer Löwen, which at that time were active in the third-class league . In the 2011/12 season , Pföderl and the Tölzer Löwen won the league championship against the Duisburg Foxes . During this time he completed his professional training as a bricklayer in his parents' construction company .

For the 2012/13 season he was signed by the Thomas Sabo Ice Tigers playing in the DEL and given him a license for EC Bad Tölz. In his second DEL game against Adler Mannheim , he scored his first goal for this club. In total he got 4 scorer points in 23 DEL season games, otherwise he played for the Tölzer Löwen in the Oberliga .

For the 2013/14 season he again received a production license for the Tölzer team, but was used in 52 games by the Ice Tigers and scored eight goals and three assists. In the following season he was able to improve again significantly and achieve 26 points (11 goals, 15 assists) in the main round. In the subsequent playoffs, Pföderl and his strike partner Corey Locke were one of the dominant players and scored seven goals in eight games against Eisbären Berlin and Adler Mannheim . As a result, Pföderl continued his development, especially in cooperation with the NHL experienced center Dave Steckel . In January 2017 he led the DEL scorer list for the first time. He finished the main round of the 2016/17 season with 48 points (22 goals, 26 assists) as the fourth best scorer in the league. In the subsequent playoffs, Pföderl injured his shoulder in the first quarter-final game against the Augsburg Panthers and ended the season prematurely.

In the 2017/18 season Pföderl was the top scorer of his team with 23 goals in the main round and the most successful player in the Nuremberg playoffs with 16 points (10 goals). In the play-offs he also earned the reputation of a so-called “clutch player”, a player who scores the decisive goals under particular pressure. Due to the performance shown, he was voted DEL player of the month for March. Even in the 2018/19 season, which was difficult for Nuremberg , he was again the most successful goalscorer of his team with 17 goals (together with Patrick Reimer ).

Nevertheless, he signed a three-year contract with league competitor Eisbären Berlin for the following season 2019/20 , whereby he also justified his change with the personnel policy at the Middle Franconia in the previous season.
