After studying at the start of his career in 2009, Linhart played for the Panthers from Fürstenfeld in Austria , before returning to his home country for the NBA Development League in the 2010/11 season . Between 2011 and 2013 Linhart also played two years in the German basketball league for TBB Trier, before he played one season in Italy for the then Israeli European Cup winner Maccabi Tel Aviv and in the Spanish ACB league for CAI Saragossa. He later played again in Germany.

Career

After finishing school in his hometown in 2005, Linhart moved to study at the University of Akron in the same US state. Here he played in the college team Zips in the Mid-American Conference of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). In 2006 you got an invitation to the National Invitation Tournament and in 2007 he moved together with Dru Joyce and Romeo Travis as a teammate in the final of the Conference Championship, which was lost to the RedHawks of Miami University by just one point , in whose ranks the future Bundesliga professional Nathan Peavy was among others . After another final defeat in 2008 against arch-rivals Golden Flashes of Kent State University , they won the championship tournament for the first time in 2009 and qualified for the national final of the NCAA for the first time since 1986 . There they lost in the first round against the Bulldogs of Gonzaga University . Linhart was named the Conference's Best Defender and Most Valuable Player of the championship tournament during his college season.

In 2009 Linhart began his professional career in the Austrian basketball league with the Cup winners Panthers from Fürstenfeld . At the beginning of the season they won the Supercup against champions WBC Raiffeisen Wels . After you could not defend the cup title after a final defeat against Allianz Swans Gmunden , you also lost the final series for the championship against the same opponent. Linhart then returned to his homeland and played in the NBA Development League (D-League) for the BayHawks from Erie (Pennsylvania) . Here you could qualify after a good second place in the Eastern Division for the play-offs , in which you were eliminated in the first round. However, Linhart could not recommend himself in this way for a contract in the highest endowed professional league NBA and left this league after the end of the season.

At the beginning of the basketball Bundesliga 2011/12 Linhart got a contract with the German first division club TBB from Trier , where he played again with his former teammate Dru Joyce. After relegation, Linhart, who was the best “ ball thief ” of the 2011/12 season, unlike Joyce, also played for the German first division team in the following season. He increased his attack from his first to the second season in Trier from 9.3 to 12.6 points per game.

After his contract expired in the summer of 2013, Linhart moved from Germany to Italy and signed with first division team Reyer Venezia Mestre until 2014. In the 2014/15 season, Linhart was under contract with the Israeli top club Maccabi Tel-Aviv and also competed with the team in the most important European club competition, the EuroLeague . After a year in Spain, which he spent with the first division club CAI Saragossa, Linhart returned to the German Bundesliga and joined Medi Bayreuth . In Bayreuth, the American, known for his versatile style of play, was one of the top performers for two years. At the end of July 2018, Linhart was signed by the multiple Belgian champion Spirou BC Charleroi . There he fell short of the expectations of those in charge and switched to Bundesliga club Telekom Baskets Bonn at the beginning of February 2019 . There, his contract was not extended after the season ended.

At the end of August 2019, he was signed by the Israeli first division club Hapoel Beer Sheva .

In October 2019 Linhart was brought back to the BBL by his former club Medi Bayreuth. He got a six-week contract to represent the injured player Lucious "Lucky" Jones. Linhart, who became a crowd favorite in the first two years in Bayreuth, fitted in perfectly with the new team, which prompted the people in charge at Medi Bayreuth to start the crowdfunding campaign “Nate must stay”. The required amount was reached within a very short time and his contract was extended until the end of the season.
