Riether stayed with Freiburg until July 2007 when he was signed by Bundesliga side VfL Wolfsburg for €500,000 and signing a three–year contract.[80][81] Manager Felix Magath said he saw the player signing as "an alternative for the back right."[82]
Riether made his debut for Wolfsburg, starting the whole game, in the right–back position, in a 3–1 loss against Arminia Bielefeld in the opening game of the season.[83] Since making his debut for the club, he quickly established himself in the first team, playing in the right–back position.[84][85][86][87][88] At times, Riether rotated into playing different position at either midfield position and centre–back position.[89][90] After missing two matches due to a thigh injury, he returned to the starting line–up against Bayer Leverkusen on 27 April 2008 and started the whole game, as Wolfsburg drew 2–2.[91][92] In the last game of the season, Riether scored his first goal for the club, in a 4–2 win over Borussia Dortmund, a win that saw Wolfsburg qualify for the UEFA Cup for next season.[93][94] At the end of the 2007–08 season, he went on to make thirty–two appearances and scoring once in all competitions at his first season at the club.

At the start of the 2010–11 season, Riether was featured for the first three matches before being sidelined with an injury that he sustained at training.[137][138][139][140] After missing one match, Riether returned to the starting line–up against Hannover 96 on 18 September 2010, only to suffer a thigh injury that saw him being substituted in the 39th minute, as Wolfsburg won 2–0.[141] After the match, he was sidelined for the rest of September.[142] But Riether made his return from injury against Borussia Mönchengladbach on 2 October 2010 and helped the club draw 1–1.[143] However, he was sidelined once again after suffering a knee injury that saw him miss one match.[144][145][146] But Riether returned to the starting line–up against St. Pauli on 21 November 2010 and helped Wolfsburg draw 1–1,[147] It wasn't until on 15 January 2011 when he scored his first goal of the season, in a 1–1 draw against Bayern Munich.[148] However, in a match against Borussia Dortmund on 29 January 2011, Riether suffered a knee injury and was substituted in the 21st minute, as the club lost 3–0.[149] After the match, it was announced that the player was sidelined for three weeks.[150] But he made his return to the starting line–up against his former club, SC Freiburg on 19 February 2011, as Wolfsburg lost 2–1.[151] Despite suffering injuries during the 2010–11 season, Riether continued to remain in the first team regular, rotating in playing either right–back position, centre–back position, right–midfield position, defensive midfield position and centre–midfield position.[152][153][154][155][156] He then scored his second goal of the season, in a 1–0 win against Werder Bremen on 28 April 2011.[157] At the end of the 2010–11 season, Riether went on to make thirty–one appearances and scoring two times in all competitions.
In the summer transfer window of 2011, Riether was linked a move away from Wolfsburg, putting his future in doubt.[158] It came after when he rejected a new contract from the club despite having a one–year contract left.[159] One club interested was 1. FC Köln and eventually, the agreement was reached on 3 July 2011.[160][161] During his time at Wolfsburg, Riether was the club's fan favourite.[162]
1. FC Köln
[edit]It was confirmed on 8 July 2011 that Riether was transferred to Bundesliga rivals 1. FC Köln for €2.8 million.[163][164]
Ahead of the 2011–12 season, Manager Ståle Solbakken wanted Riether to be captain, but he declined the offer, leading Pedro Geromel to be appointed instead.[165][166] Nevertheless, Riether was given a vice–captain role instead.[167] He made his debut for the club, starting the whole game in the defensive midfield position, in a 3–0 against his former club, Wolfsburg in the opening game of the season.[168] Since making his debut for 1. FC Köln, Riether quickly established himself in the midfield position, where he usually next to Martin Lanig and Adam Matuszczyk.[169][170][171] In the absence of captain Geromel, Riether captained the side for the first time on 25 September 2011, in a 2–0 win over 1899 Hoffenheim.[172] He went on captain for the next five matches before Geromel return.[173][174][175] It wasn't until on 25 February 2012 when Riether captained the side once again, in a 2–0 loss against Bayer Leverkusen.[176] A month later on 25 March 2012 against Borussia Dortmund, he made his 200th Bundesliga appearances, as they went on to lose 6–1.[177] However, towards the end of the season, the club was eventually relegated to the 2. Bundesliga.[178][179] Despite suffering setback during the 2011–12 season,[180][181][182] Riether finished his first season, making 35 appearances (33 out of which were league fixtures) in all competitions.[183]
At the end of the 2011–12 season, Riether's future at 1. FC Köln became increasingly uncertain after he was advised to find a new club.[184] As a result, Riether was linked a move away from 1. FC Köln, with clubs from abroad and his native clubs, both VfB Stuttgart and SC Freiburg, were among interested.[185][186][187]
Fulham
[edit]On 6 July 2012, Riether moved to Premier League side Fulham on a season-long loan deal from parent club 1. FC Köln, after they were relegated to the 2. Bundesliga, reuniting with his former Wolfsburg teammate Ashkan Dejagah.[79][188] The move also had an option to acquire the player at the end of the loan period.[189] After securing the move to his new club, Riether spoke of his delight for being able to suit up at Craven Cottage, "I remember Craven Cottage being a great stadium with great fans, and I hope I can go on to have a great season here."[190]
Riether made his Fulham debut on the first day of the season against Norwich City, a 5–0 thumping of the Canaries at Craven Cottage.[191] Since making his debut, he quickly established himself in the starting eleven for the side, beating out Stephen Kelly over the right–back position.[192][193] On 10 November, Riether was adjudged to have handled the ball inside the area and referee Phil Dowd awarded a 93rd-minute penalty to Arsenal with the game tied 3–3; Mikel Arteta's spot-kick was saved by Mark Schwarzer and Fulham escaped the Emirates with a point.[194] Riether scored his first goal in the Premier League for Fulham in a 2–2 draw at Sunderland on 2 March 2013.[195] Despite missing out three matches during the 2012–13 season,[196][197][198] he went on to make 39 appearances and scoring once in all competitions. Following a successful debut season in England, Riether was voted as the club's Player of the Season by his fellow players, beating out the likes of top scorer Dimitar Berbatov and Greek midfielder Giorgos Karagounis.[199][200]
On 16 May 2013, Riether agreed a permanent deal with Fulham for an undisclosed fee. He said "I am pleased after a first season in England and am focused on my other tasks in Fulham."[201] Ahead of the 2013–14 season, he signed a contract extension with the club, keeping him until 2016.[202] Riether continued to regain his first team place, in the right–back position despite facing competition from new signing, Elsad Zverotić.[203][204] On 5 October 2013, Riether twice cleared shots off the line from fellow countryman Robert Huth as Fulham beat Stoke City 1–0 at home.[205] Riether received much praise for his play and was recognized by Sky Sports as the game's "Man of the Match" for his endeavors.[206] On 4 November 2013, Riether was charged with violent conduct by The FA after video evidence showed that he stamped on Manchester United player Adnan Januzaj in stoppage time of Fulham's 3–1 loss to United two days before.[207] The club later found themselves in the relegation zone following the club's string of losses, which he described it as "desperate to avoid another survival scrap after experience with Cologne".[208] Even after the reuniting with Manager Magath, the club were later relegated to the Championship after losing 4–1 to Stoke City.[209][210] Riether's form had dropped, as Metro reflected on his performance: "Riether's demise, however, was so stark and speedy it was almost upsetting. He was slow and turgid last season and began to resemble a player more fitting to his age."[211] Despite this, Riether finished the 2013–14 season, making 33 appearances and scoring once in all competitions.
Initially remaining coy about his future at Fulham until the end of the season,[212] Riether was among several players expected to leave Fulham following their relegation.[213] During his time at Fulham, Riether was the subject of a football chant from Fulham supporters in his honour by singing: "Sascha Riether Baby – Sascha Riether ohohohoho!"[214]
Return to Freiburg
[edit]On 26 June 2014, Riether left relegated Fulham and rejoined his first club SC Freiburg for an undisclosed fee.[215][216]
However, at the start of the season, Riether suffered a knee injury that saw him miss the first four matches.[217][218] But he made his second debut for the club, coming on as a second–half substitute, in a 3–3 draw against TSG Hoffeinheim on 23 September 2014.[219] Expected to feature in the midfield position, Riether played in the right–back position, where he found himself in the competition with Oliver Sorg instead.[220][221][222] In the absence of captain of Miso Brecko and Julian Schuster, who lost his first team place, Riether captained the side on four occasions throughout the first half of the season.[223][224][225][226][227] However, he suffered a muscle injury in late–November and missed the next three matches as a result.[228] But Riether returned from injury against Hamburger SV on 13 December 2014 and started the whole game as captain, helping SC Freiburg keep a clean sheet, in a 0–0 draw.[229] Following his returning from injury, he regained his first team place, playing in the right–back position.[230][231][232] Riether helped the club keep three consecutive clean sheets between 21 March 2015 and 11 April 2015.[233][234][235] However, towards the end of the 2014–15 season, he lost his first team place and was demoted to the substitute bench, as the club were relegated from the Bundesliga.[236][237][238][239] At the end of the 2014–15 season, Riether went on to make twenty–one appearances in all competitions.
Schalke 04
[edit]![](http://178.128.105.246/content-http-upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/67/Sascha_Riether_2016.jpg/250px-Sascha_Riether_2016.jpg)
Following Freiburg's relegation from the Bundesliga, Riether signed for Schalke 04 on 23 July 2015, signing a one–year contract and an option of extending for another season.[240] Upon joining the club, he was given a number 27 shirt ahead of the new season.[241]
Riether made his Schalke 04 debut, where he started the whole game, in a 3–1 win over Werder Bremen in the opening game of the season.[242] Since making his Schalke 04 debut, Riether appeared in and out of the first team, due to facing strong competition with Júnior Caiçara over the right–back position.[243][244] As a result, he often rotate with Caiçara over the right–back position throughout the 2015–16 season.[245][246][247][248][249] Despite this, Riether played a role in the UEFA Europa League in two separate matches, which he assisted two times, both a win against Asteras Tripoli and APOEL; and ultimately helped the club reach the knockout stage.[250][251] Later in the 2015–16 season, Riether later played in the centre–back position on two occasions, coming against Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich.[252][253][254] At the end of the 2015–16 season, he went on to make twenty appearances (16 of which were in the starting eleven) in all competitions. Following this, the club opted to take up their option of a contract extension that would ensure Riether remained under contract for the 2016–17 season.[255]
However, at the start of the 2016–17 season, Riether continued to find himself in competition over the right-back position, with Caiçara and new signing, Coke.[256][257] He made his first appearance of the season, coming on as a 77th-minute substitute, in a 4–1 win against FC 08 Villingen in the first round of the DFB–Pokal.[258] Riether then started twice for Schalke 04, playing in the right–back position against 1.

However throughout the 2018–19 season, Riether continued struggled to receive playing time throughout the season, due to competitions and his own injury concern.[283][284][285][286] But the only game he played for Schalke 04 in the 2018–19 season was in the last game of the season in which Schalke 04 tied 0–0 against VfB Stuttgart.[287][288] After that Riether retired from professional football.[289]

Senior career
[edit]Due to his good performance at Wolfsburg, Riether was considered to be called up by the national team.[316] However, in May 2010, he was cut from being short–listed for the FIFA World Cup squad for the side.[317] Three months later, he was finally called up by the senior team.[318]
Riether made his debut with the Germany national team on 11 August 2010, in a friendly against Denmark and played 34 minutes coming on as substitute for Andreas Beck, as the match finished in a 2–2 draw.[319][320] After the match, he said about his debut, quoting: "It was very special for me, the first international match, but unfortunately we did not win, but I'm really happy to get a taste of it."[321]
To date, Riether's only other appearance with the national side was on 7 September 2010, playing the full 90 minutes of a 6–1 thumping of Azerbaijan in a UEFA Euro 2012 qualifying match.[322] He have been since being called up by the national team on two occasions.[323][324] Two years after moving to Fulham, Riether hopes his move would have benefited his international career, which never happened.[325] So his two full caps came in a period of less than a month in 2010.[326]
Personal life
[edit]Born in Lahr, West Germany, Riether grew up in Kühbach and excelled in wrestling.[10] However, he had no interest in freestyle or Greco-Roman, leading him to change his interests to football.[10][9] His interest in endurance racing earned him the nickname "Herbie".[327] Growing up, he supported Borussia Dortmund and idolised Matthias Sammer.[8][328]
In his early football career, Riether developed a reputation as "a good schoolboy, who always does his work without corners and edges, never attracts attention and therefore sometimes receives too little attention."[329] He left school "at least 2-Abi" in 2002.[8][330] In addition to speaking German, Riether speaks Spanish, French, English and some Portuguese.[331][332][333] During his time at Wolfsburg, Riether developed a friendship with his then teammates, Gentner and Marcel Schäfer.[334]
Riether is married to his wife Susana, a law student.[335][336][337][338] In June 2020, he became a first time father when his wife gave birth to a baby girl, Sarah.[339]
