In November 2009, a number of suspensions caused Knasmüllner to be called up to Bayern's reserve team, and he made his debut in a 3. Liga match against Eintracht Braunschweig. He immediately became a regular at that level and was named in Bayern's first-team squad for the 2010–11 UEFA Champions League, where he was given the number 29, and was named on the substitutes' bench for a Bundesliga match against Hannover 96 in October 2010. He moved to Internazionale in January 2011 to play for their Primavera team. After half a season without appearance in the first squad, he moved on 31 August 2011 to Ingolstadt in the 2. Bundesliga. Three years later he returned to Austria, signing for Admira Wacker.
On 31 January 2018, he signed for Barnsley on a 2+1⁄2-year deal for an undisclosed fee. Five months later, on 15 June, he returned to Austria to sign for Rapid Wien.
