Club career

Born in Vienna, Artner started his professional career with Austria Wien where he was the supposed successor of club legend Robert Sara. After a season on loan to First Vienna, he was however deemed surplus to requirements at Austria so he signed for Admira Wacker where he would spend six years before enjoying considerable success at Austria Salzburg. ^[1] He played in both legs of the 1994 UEFA Cup Final which they lost to Inter Milan.

After indifferent spells in Spain and the Italian Serie B he returned to Austria to finish his career with the Sankt Pölten side.
