Club career

Born in Leoben, Styria, Standfest made his professional debut for Grazer AK in the 1998/1999 season. He stayed 9 seasons with GAK, winning a league title and three domestic cups. He left GAK for giants Austria Wien in January 2007, just before GAK were demoted to the Regionalliga Mitte because of financial difficulties.
