Third-tier league - Left-back Schumacher joins Saarbrücken.
Saarbrücken 1. FC signs Till Schumacher as their new defender for the next season. This 26-year-old, originally from Essen, played for Austria Klagenfurt, a top-tier Austrian club. The third-division team from Saarland didn't share details about the length of his contract on Tuesday.
