Career

Early career

Feulner went through the Bayern Munich academy, but was unable to gain a place in the first team. In January 2004, he signed for strugglers 1. FC Köln. Hampered by injuries, Feulner could only play 38 games for the first team in two and a half seasons as the club moved in and out of the topflight.

After a second relegation with Köln in 2006, Feulner signed for 1. FSV Mainz 05. Since then, even though Mainz was relegated the year after, he developed into an influential midfielder for the club and was rumored to have attracted interest from higher-profile teams such as Bayer Leverkusen.

On 18 March 2009, it was announced that Feulner had signed a three year contract with Borussia Dortmund. He officially joined on 1 July 2009 on a free transfer where he met up with his former coach Jürgen Klopp.

1. FC Nuremberg

He moved to 1. FC Nuremberg in summer 2011.
