## Career

In 2009, after just one day with Sint-Truiden,[1] he returned to Germany and signed for FC Wegberg-Beeck on a two-year contract. He left the club in December 2010.[2]

In 2011 Schnitzler admitted receiving €100,000 to fix five matches while playing for St. Pauli in 2008.[3] On 19 July 2011, he was banned for 30 months in Germany for his part in fixing five second division matches in 2008.[2]
