Club career

Granada

Born in Monachil, Province of Granada, Andalusia to a German father and a Spanish mother,[1] Butzke joined Granada CF's academy from his hometown club. He began his senior with the farm team, CD Huétor Vega, in the Tercera División.[3]

Butzke made his fourth-tier debut on 26 August 2018, starting a 0–2 home loss against Atlético Mancha Real.[4] He first appeared with Granada's reserves on 2 September, coming on as a late substitute for Eliseo Falcón in a 0–1 Segunda División B home defeat to UCAM Murcia CF.[5]

Butzke scored his first senior goal on 11 November 2018, Huétor Vega's second in a 4–3 away win over Martos CD.[6] The following July, having netted nine times for them, he was definitely promoted to the B side.[7]

On 29 June 2020, Butzke renewed his contract with Granada until 2022.[8] On 4 September, he was loaned to fellow third-tier Haro Deportivo for the season.[9]

Upon returning in July 2021, Butzke was again a member of Granada B, now in the Segunda División RFEF. He made his first-team debut on 30 November, scoring a hat-trick in a 7–0 away rout of amateurs CD Laguna de Tenerife in the first round of the Copa del Rey.[10][11] He played his only La Liga match on 19 December, replacing scorer Jorge Molina in the 4–1 home victory against RCD Mallorca.[12]

Butzke agreed to a new deal in January 2022, until June 2026.[13] Shortly after, he was loaned to Primeira Liga club F.C. Paços de Ferreira.[14]

Portugal and Mirandés

On 24 August 2022, after spending the entire pre-season with Granada, Butzke returned to Paços on a one-year loan.[15] On 6 July 2023, Vitória de Guimarães announced his signing on a permanent three-year contract.[16] He made 22 appearances during his spell at the latter, failing to find the net or provide an assist.[17]

Still owned by Vitória, Butzke split the 2024–25 campaign with C.D. Nacional (Portuguese top flight)[18] and CD Mirandés (Segunda División).[19] On 1 September 2025, he joined Liga Portugal 2's C.S. Marítimo on a one-year deal.[20]
