Mike Wunderlich (born 25 March 1986) is a German footballer who plays for Viktoria Köln.[1][2]

Career

Wunderlich began his career playing for the youth academy of Viktoria Köln, until 2004 when he transferred to 1. FC Köln. After one year playing for the FC's youth academy, he was called up to the reserve team in 2005. In 2006, Wunderlich made his senior debut in Regionalliga match against VfB Lübeck. He would go on to play fifteen more matches that season. After playing all but two of 1. FC Köln's Regionalliga matches in the first half of the 2008–09 season, he transferred to Rot-Weiss Essen, another Regionalliga team. Wunderlich would play one and a half season for Essen, before joining second division club FSV Frankfurt over the summer break in 2010. He seemed to have found his footing in Frankfurt, playing very well in the 2010-11 season. However, after the season, he requested to be sent back (on loan) to the fifth league team of Viktoria Köln to help him recover from burn out. In early 2012 he stated that he was not up to handling the pressures of professional soccer, and asked to remain with Viktoria Köln. His outstanding performance helped Viktoria Köln to be promoted to the newly formed Regionalliga (fourth league) at the end of the 2011-12 season, and get off to a stellar start into the 2012-13 season.
