Club career

[edit]

At the age of five, Schult began her career at her local football club FC SG Gartow, before moving to Hamburger SV in 2007. She joined Magdeburger FFC in 2008, where she played in the third-tier Regionalliga. At Magdeburg Schult became a regular starter and achieved promotion with her team to the 2. Frauen-Bundesliga, where she played two full seasons. In 2011, Schult signed a three-year contract with Frauen-Bundesliga side SC 07 Bad Neuenahr.[3] In 2013, she signed a two-year contract with Bundesliga and UEFA Women's Champions League champions VfL Wolfsburg.[4]

In April 2022, she signed an 18-month contract with NWSL club Angel City FC.[5] However, she featured in only one match, and left the club in November that year.[6]

In April 2024, she joined Hamburger SV until the end of the 2023–24 season.[7][8]

On 2 August 2024, the Kansas City Current announced that they had signed Schult through the end of the 2024 season.[9]
