Heinz Müller (born May 30, 1978 in Frankfurt am Main ) is a former German soccer goalkeeper. He was most recently under contract with Bundesliga club 1. FSV Mainz 05 .

Career

Müller began his career in the youth of FSV Frankfurt . After one season he came to Hannover 96 via SpVgg Bad Homburg , where he was substitute goalkeeper behind Jörg Sievers for four years . He played eight games in the 2nd Bundesliga and 14 games for the youth national teams of the DFB .

In 2001 he moved to Arminia Bielefeld . After a year and a half, in which he only played one role, Müller played for FC St. Pauli from January 2003 . There he was a regular goalkeeper and played 16 games before Hamburg relegated to the regional league in summer 2003 and Müller left the club.

In the second division promoted SSV Jahn Regensburg , he initially received a regular place, but lost it after the first games. After a year and a half, Müller moved to Norway and played in 2004 for first division side Odd Grenland and from 2005 to 2007 for league rivals Lillestrøm SK . At Lillestrøm he was number one in goal and won the Norwegian Cup in 2007 .

In August 2007 Müller signed a three-year contract with FC Barnsley in the Football League Championship , the second English division. There he quickly became one of the best players on the team. In January 2008 he injured his knee so badly that he had to take a break for almost a year.

For the 2009/10 season , Müller moved back to Germany for 1. FSV Mainz 05 , where he was Dimo Wache's regular goalkeeper due to an injury before the start of the season . In the following seasons he was often a substitute goalkeeper behind Christian Wetklo and Loris Karius - also due to injury . During the 2013/14 winter break, he was eliminated from the Mainz first division team as a regular goalkeeper and was only used in the Mainz second team in the regional league. After the season he received no new contract in Mainz.

Müller trained with FC Bayern Munich from late October to mid-December 2014 after their substitute goalkeepers Pepe Reina and Tom Starke were injured.

The Mainz Labor Court upheld a lawsuit by Müller on March 19, 2015 to establish the continued existence of an open-ended employment relationship. On February 17, 2016, the Rhineland-Palatinate State Labor Court overturned this decision and allowed an appeal to the Federal Labor Court in Erfurt. If the decision of the first instance had been confirmed, it could have had an impact comparable to that of the Bosman decision . Professional athletes from team sports could then have given notice of three months' notice and then changed clubs free of charge. On the other hand, clubs could have asserted a probationary period for new contracts. The Federal Labor Court, however, rejected the appeal filed by Müller and upheld the ruling of the Rhineland-Palatinate State Labor Court.
