Club career

Much-travelled Lexa was born in Klagenfurt but was raised in Germany. At the age of seven years he started at SV Heimstetten. As youth player he also played for TSV 1860 Munich. He spent a couple of years in the 2. Bundesliga before winning promotion to the Bundesliga with Eintracht Frankfurt after he got relegated with them the season before. With Eintracht he also lost the 2006 DFB-Pokal final. After that final he moved back to the 2. Bundesliga to play for 1. FC Kaiserslautern before making his debut in the Austrian Football Bundesliga with SV Ried in 2008. In 2002–03, he also played 11 games for Segunda División side CD Tenerife.

The Carinthian was classified as a good dribbler and mostly played on the right wing.
