Markus Ziereis (born 26 August 1992) is a German professional footballer who plays as a forward for Regionalliga Bayern side DJK Vilzing.
Club career Ziereis began his career with 1860 Munich and made his 2. Bundesliga debut for the club in November 2012, as a half-time substitute for Sebastian Maier in a 2–2 draw with Union Berlin. In 2013, he joined FSV Frankfurt. In order to get more playing time, he was loaned to Darmstadt 98. In 2014, he joined Chemnitzer FC.
After one season, he returned to Jahn Regensburg. During the 2015–16 season he contributed 19 goals in 31 league matches to Regensburg's promotion from the Regionalliga Bayern to the 3. Liga. His following season was blighted by injuries and he lost his place in the starting lineup, making just 10 substitute appearances.
