Nico Schulz (born 1 April 1993 in Berlin) is a German footballer who plays as a defender for Hertha BSC.

Career

Schulz played as youth for BSC Rehberge until 2000, before joining Hertha BSC. In Berlin, he immediately performed convincingly, even attracting the attention scouts of Liverpool F.C,.[1] whose offer he refused, and stayed in Berlin instead.

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,[2] where he left a so great impression. 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.[3]
