Career

His first youth club was SV Untermenzing , where Thorsten Schulz played for two years. At the age of eight, Schulz moved to FC Bayern Munich . There he enjoyed youth training from F-youth to B-youth . Schulz played for about nine years for the youth teams of FC Bayern Munich. His greatest sporting success in the "Junior Team" was winning the German B-Youth Championship under coach Stephan Beckenbauer . His two years in the A-Jugend played for FC Energie Cottbus . Thorsten Schulz could recommend himself for the amateur team of the Bundesliga club and was a regular player in the fourth-class Oberliga Nordost . During this time he was allowed to take part in training units and preparatory games for the first team under Eduard Geyer and also successfully graduated from school.

After a metatarsal fracture in 2004, he returned to Bavaria and moved to SC Fürstenfeldbruck in the fourth-class Bayernliga for a year . In 2006 Schulz switched to the amateur team of SpVgg Unterhaching and was also a top performer there. During these two seasons from 2004 to 2006, he also completed an apprenticeship as a banker at Commerzbank AG in Munich. In the summer of 2007 he moved up to the first team's professional squad under Werner Lorant . He made his debut in the Regionalliga Süd on August 8, 2007 (2nd matchday) in a 2-1 win at home against SC Pfullendorf , when he came on for Roman Tyce in the 66th minute.

After the coaching change, Schulz became an undisputed regular under Ralph Hasenhüttl as a right defender and qualified with SpVgg Unterhaching in 2008 for the newly introduced 3rd division . He scored his first professional goal on August 17, 2008 (3rd matchday) in a 2-0 win against the Stuttgarter Kickers with the goal to make it 1-0 in the 13th minute. Schulz also remained a regular under Hasenhüttl's successor, Klaus Augenthaler .

In the summer of 2011, he followed his former coach Hasenhüttl and moved to league rivals VfR Aalen . There he became a regular player straight away and completed 23 league games in his first season for VfR before he was canceled for the rest of the second half of the season due to a torn cruciate ligament . At the end of the season, the team reached second place in the table and rose to the 2nd Bundesliga . After his recovery, Schulz was able to establish himself again as a regular in the second division team in the second half of the following season. He only received an offer from the club in April 2013 to extend his contract, which expired in the summer, from the Aalen team. Due to the long uncertainty, Schulz had already decided to accept a contract offer from league competitor SG Dynamo Dresden and was already in Dresden at the time the Aalen offer was submitted to sign a two-year contract valid for both the second and third leagues.

At the Dresden team, Thorsten Schulz prevailed as a regular player in the middle of the first half of the season, but the club rose as table-17 at the end of the season. from. After relegation, Schulz moved to the second division club FC Erzgebirge Aue in the summer of 2014 , where he was unable to assert himself in the following season and was only used in three games until the winter break. In January 2015 he therefore joined the third division team Preußen Münster , with whom he signed a contract until the end of the season.

In summer 2015 he returned to VfR Aalen, which had since been relegated to the third division. With the Swabians he signed a two-year contract.
