Kevin Schade came through SC Freiburg’s academy and made his Bundesliga debut in 2021. Brentford signed him, first on loan in January 2023 and then permanently, for a club-record fee.
A serious injury limited him early in his time in England, but he has since become an important part of Brentford’s attack. He is quick, direct and can play on the left or through the middle.
Schade has been capped by Germany.
