Career
1860 Munich
Janker started out in 1860 Munich's youth system. He eventually made his debut in the 2. Bundesliga, and became a regular for their reserve team. After asking for a transfer to another team, he joined 1899 Hoffenheim.
1899 Hoffenheim
In 2009, Janker and his team member Andreas Ibertsberger came under investigation after failing to report to a doping control promptly after the match against Borussia Mönchengladbach on 2 February 2009. The German Football Association (DFB) suspended the investigation due to the lack of evidence, also Janker was later tested negative. The investigation was widely covered by the German press.[1] On 23 May 2009 after the Bundesliga final he announced his departure at the end of the season on 30 June 2009.[2]
Hertha BSC
On 28 May 2009, Janker signed a three-year contract with Hertha BSC.[3]
