Pentz played youth football at SV Bürmoos in the state of Salzburg before joining Red Bull Salzburg's academy in 2006.[3] He moved to Austria Wien in 2013 and was first listed with the club's Regionalliga squad that August, making his debut for Austria Wien II in September 2014. He received his first senior call-up in April 2015 and, with both first-choice goalkeepers unavailable, made his Bundesliga debut on the final matchday of the 2015–16 season: a 3–0 win over Sturm Graz on 15 May 2016.[4]

From the 2017–18 season, he established himself as Austria Wien's starting goalkeeper, aside from a brief spell during the 2019–20 season, when Ivan Lučić held the position, and totalled 129 Bundesliga appearances for the club. He was voted the league's best goalkeeper in both the 2020–21 and 2021–22 seasons.[5][6] After nine years with Austria Wien, he left at the end of the 2021–22 campaign.[7]

Reims

[edit | edit source]

On 9 July 2022, Pentz signed a three-year contract with Reims in Ligue 1.[8] He began the 2022–23 season as first-choice goalkeeper before later losing the position to Yehvann Diouf.[9]

Bayer Leverkusen

[edit | edit source]

On 27 January 2023, Pentz joined Bayer 04 Leverkusen on a two-and-a-half-year deal.[10] Serving as back-up to Lukáš Hrádecký, he did not make a first-team appearance for the club.[11]

Brøndby

[edit | edit source]

On 18 August 2023, Pentz joined Brøndby on a season-long loan.[12] He made his competitive debut ten days later, starting and keeping a clean sheet in a 1–0 away win over Vejle Boldklub in the Danish Superliga.[13][14] He remained first choice for the remainder of the season, recording 11 clean sheets in 30 competitive appearances in league and cup.[15]

On 10 June 2024, Brøndby made the transfer permanent and Pentz signed a four-year contract.[16] During the same window he was also linked in the media with interest from Copenhagen, Celtic and Southampton.[17][18] On 7 December 2024 he was named Brøndby's Player of the Year for 2024.[19] Later that month he was named Danish Goalkeeper of the Year, winning Tipsbladet's Det Gyldne Bur for 2024—an award voted on by the first-choice goalkeepers in the Superliga and 1st Division.[20]

On 13 April 2025, after a 2–1 away win against Copenhagen at Parken Stadium, Pentz was shown a second yellow card for unsporting behaviour during the post-match celebrations. A melee ensued in which Copenhagen goalkeeper Diant Ramaj and Brøndby reserve Thomas Mikkelsen were also dismissed; Ramaj was later reported to have head-butted Mikkelsen. Thomas Delaney criticised Pentz's conduct in a post-match interview.[21][22][23]

International career

[edit | edit source]

Pentz represented Austria at the U17, U18 and U21 levels.[24] He made his debut for the senior national team on 29 March 2022, coming on as a substitute in the friendly match against Scotland.[25]
