He made his first team debut in March 2007 for SG Noswendel-Wadern in the Landesliga &#8211; then the seventh tier of the German football league system. <BR><BR>At the start of the 2007&#8211;08 season, he joined Hasborn-Dautweiler in the fifth tier Oberliga, appearing 18 times for the club before moving to 1. FC Saarbr&#252;cken six months later. He struggled to make an impact during his 18 month spell at the club, and made many of his 30 league appearances as a substitute. Following Saarbr&#252;cken&#39;s promotion to the Regionalliga in 2009, Wollscheid decided to look for a new club. He arranged a trial with 1. FC Nuremberg, and subsequently signed a three-year deal with the club.<BR><BR>Having not trained at a youth academy like many other young footballers, Wollscheid admitted to knowing little about tactics before he joined Nuremberg, and had little idea about how a back four operates. He spent his first season at the club playing for the club&#39;s reserve team, making 26 Regionalliga appearances and scoring one goal.<BR><BR>He rose to prominence during the 2010&#8211;11 Bundesliga season, making his first team debut in a 3&#8211;1 defeat against 1. FC Kaiserslautern in November 2010. He soon became a regular starter for Nuremberg and finished the year ranked third among all Bundesliga defenders, according to kickers player ratings.<BR><BR>In November 2011, Wollscheid agreed a five-year deal with Bayer Leverkusen beginning from summer 2012.<\/P>","249186B187931B83":"88kg","58D6F117B0E852FD":"194cm","F8A44A36F46FF4E4":"Philipp Wollscheid","e_index":0};
