Nico Schulz (German pronunciation: [ˈniːko ˈʃʊlts];[1][2] born 1 April 1993) is a German professional footballer who plays as a left back for Borussia Dortmund and the German national team.

Club career

Schulz played as youth for BSC Rehberge Berlin until 2000, before joining Hertha BSC. In Berlin, he immediately performed convincingly, even attracting the attention scouts of Liverpool, whose offer he refused, and stayed in Berlin instead.[3]

In the years that followed, he played for the A-Youth team, reaching the final youth DFB-Pokal in 2009–10, but lost 1–2 against 1899 Hoffenheim.

In the subsequent summer break, Schulz was allowed to go to the training camp with the professional players for the first time, where he left a great impression.[4] He made his first competitive match for the first team in the first round of the DFB-Pokal against SC Pfullendorf with a 2–0 win on 14 August 2010, coming on as a substitute for Valeri Domovchiyski in the 81st minute.[5] Over the next two season, Schulz established himself in the club as a regular substitute and occasional starter. He scored his first goal for Hertha BSC on 30 March 2013 against VfL Bochum.

On 18 August 2015, Schulz joined Borussia Mönchengladbach on a four-year deal.[6] In 2017, he signed a three-year contract with 1899 Hoffenheim.[7]

On 22 May 2019, Schulz joined Borussia Dortmund, along with Julian Brandt and Thorgan Hazard.[8]

International career

Schulz was called up to the full Germany squad for the first time on 29 August 2018, for Germany's opening 2018–19 UEFA Nations League match against France and the friendly against Peru.[9] He made his international début in the latter match, scoring the game-winning goal in the 85th minute[10].He was also eligible to play for Italy through his father, who hails from Ischia.[11]
