Career

Butzen was born in Mühlhausen in Thuringia. He started playing youth football at Union Mühlhausen before joining the youth department of 1. FC Magdeburg in 2009.[2] He played three matches in the club's reserve team in the NOFV-Oberliga Süd in 2011, before becoming part of the first team squad for the 2011–12 season. He made his first team debut on 24 August 2011 in a Saxony-Anhalt Cup match, but had to wait until March next year for his league debut against Berliner AK. In the following years, Butzen established himself as a first team regular on the rightback position and saw his contract extended until June 2016 eventually.[2]

Butzen played in 22 of 30 league matches in Magdeburg's successful 2014–15 campaign and scored his first two goals for the club against Carl Zeiss Jena in May.[3] Following the club's promotion to Germany's 3. Liga, he made his professional debut as a rightback in Magdeburg's 2–1 victory over Rot-Weiß Erfurt in the season opener of the 2015–16 3. Liga season.[4]
