Soon after he was sent on loan to South Melbourne for the remainder of the 2007 Victorian Premier League season, to get some game time and experience.<BR><BR>Once the loan finished, Langerak continued his duties as the Victory&#39;s third choice goalkeeper before Eugene Galekovic moved to Adelaide United. He made his debut for Melbourne in the Round 21 clash of the 2007&#8211;08 season against rivals Sydney FC and despite letting in two goals, his performance in the 2&#8211;2 draw was a confident debut.<BR><BR>With Galekovic making a move to Adelaide United, Langerak became the second choice keeper. With first choice Michael Theoklitos making his move overseas, Victory signed New Zealand international Glen Moss from Wellington Phoenix. Moss started the 2009&#8211;10 as Melbourne&#39;s first choice keeper before Langerak grasped his opportunity in the first team to become the side&#39;s first choice keeper for the remainder of the season.<BR><BR>On 13 April 2010, Melbourne officially announced that they had rejected a bid for Langerak from German giants, Borussia Dortmund, however talks continued. On 4 May 2010, Langerak revealed to FourFourTwo Magazine, that Borussia Dortmund had made a second, substantially increased, bid for his services on the same day as the interview, but was again rejected by Melbourne Victory.<BR><BR><STRONG>Borussia Dortmund<BR><\/STRONG>On 12 May 2010, Melbourne Victory accepted a third offer for Langerak from Borussia Dortmund sealing a four-year-deal with BVB. After joining Dortmund, Langerak became the club&#39;s second choice goalkeeper during the 2010&#8211;11 Bundesliga season and was a regular in matchday squads. Langerak said his goal for the season was to learn as much as possible.<BR><BR>With Roman Weidenfeller injured, Langerak started his first game for Dortmund in their 3&#8211;1 win against reigning German champions Bayern Munich, where he showed a solid performance. Langerak made a return to the first team squad for the first time picked before an available Weidenfeller in Dortmunds second round German DFB Cup game with Dynamo Dresden. During the game many flares were lit in Signal Iduna Park bringing some concern; no action was taken and Mitch showed signs of jubilation with manager J&#252;rgen Klopp after the game as he recorded his first clean sheet in front of over 80,000 in attendance.<BR><BR>On 12 May 2012, two years to the day after sealing his move to Borussia Dortmund, Langerak came on as a 32nd minute substitute in the DFB-Pokal final against Bayern Munich. He came on for the injured Roman Weidenfeller who had suspected rib damage after a challenge with Mario G&#243;mez earlier in the game. Dortmund went on to win the game 5&#8211;2 to claim the cup and Langerak&#39;s third title in two seasons at the club.<\/P>","60DC9D976694DF52":"1","EABD711929A60B526AB9CD802EC5F0A7":"1","46F0C72A3415188ABA1E996C06156FBC05C24372D6636D63":"1","D41F91B0720932DCFCEBDA572EB68D71":"1988-8-22","FAF88D97B63B269A":"193cm","99B9FE00554E753D0BC6E1E16DA9F791":"Levante","BA50BEB0DB40F3ADF7C4575FF4221F17":"","2134628892B06B90":"Mitchell James Langerak","BDC97245F9A52F8B":"223","e_index":9};
