Stephan Markus Schröck (born 21 August 1986) nicknamed "Schröcky", is a German–Filipino professional footballer who plays as a right back for 2nd Bundesliga club SpVgg Greuther Fürth. He has also featured for Germany at various youth levels.
Club career
In April 2008, Schröck signed a two-year contract extension with Greuther Fürth. Two years later, in March 2010, Schröck again extended extended his contract for another two years. Although he revealed that he could have gone to five other clubs with better financial benefits, he chose to stay to repay the backing that the club has always shown him. He also wants to reach the Bundesliga with the club and believes it's an achievable target in the next two years before his contract runs out.
International career
Schröck was born to a Geman father and a Filipina mother, making him eligible to represent Germany or the Philippine at international level. He eventually chose Germany, as he has represented the country at U-18, U-19 and U-20 levels.
Under previous FIFA rules, Schröck could have switched to the Philippines until his 21st birthday but he didn't take that option, neither was he called up during this time. In early June 2009, FIFA removed the age limit on players switching nations,making him eligible again to switch to the Philippines. He then revealed in July 2010 that he would make the switch and will be playing for the Philippines in October during the 2010 AFF Suzuki Cup qualification in Laos. However, a few days prior to the start of the qualifying tournament, he was left out of the Philippines squad as his documents have yet to be processed.
