Club career

Şahin-Radlinger was developed by the youth system of SV Ried, and his first experience of first-team football came during a loan spell at Union St. Florian of the Austrian Regional League Central during the 2010–11 season.[1]

Shortly afterwards, in June 2011, Şahin-Radlinger was signed by German club Hannover 96.[2] He spent the next two years as first-choice goalkeeper for Hannover's reserve team in the Regionalliga Nord before joining Rapid Wien on a two-year loan deal in the summer of 2013.[1] He made his Bundesliga debut in a 0–0 draw with Wiener Neustadt on 15 December 2013.[3]

On 30 January 2018, Şahin-Radlinger joined Norwegian top-tier team SK Brann on loan for rest of the 2018 season. Brann were given an option to sign him permanently at the end of the loan;[4] however, the club decided against pulling the option and Şahin-Radlinger returned to Hannover 96 at the end of the season.[5]

On 26 June 2019, English side Barnsley confirmed that Samuel had signed a permanent contract with Daniel Stendel's side.[6]

On 13 August 2020, he returned to his first club SV Ried.[7]

On 1 September 2023, Şahin-Radlinger signed a three-year contract with Austria Wien and was immediately loaned out to Almere City in the Netherlands.[8]
