Career change
Clubs change
Günther started his football career at TSV Oberbrüden, later joined FSV Waiblingen and in 2014 moved to the talent center academy of VfB Stuttgart. For the 2016/17 season, he moved to the B2 Juniors (U16) of FC Schalke 04, before moving up to the B1 Juniors for the 2017/18 season, with whom he played under Frank Fahrenhorst in the B-Junioren-Bundesliga. For the 2018/19 season, Günther moved to the A Juniors of SC Freiburg (U19).
In June 2019, Günther signed his first professional contract with third league team Chemnitzer FC with a term until 30 June 2022.[1] Even after the season interruption from March to May due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Chemnitzer FC did not manage to leave the relegation places and the club was relegated to the Regionalliga Nord/Ost.
After only one season with the Saxons, Günther moved on a free transfer to Hamburger SV in October 2020.[2] The season was also interrupted due to rising infection levels caused by the COVID-19 pandemic at the end of October. After a month-long break, the 2020–21 season was ended early.
National team change
Günther was first invited to join the German U15 national team by Michael Feichtenbeiner in 2015.[3]
