Former Liverpool goalkeeper Loris Karius has joined German second-tier side Schalke until the end of the season.<\/b><\/p>\n

Karius, 31, had been without a club since his contract with Newcastle expired at the end of the 2023-24 campaign.<\/p>\n

Schalke were relegated from the Bundesliga in 2022-23 and sit 13th in Bundesliga 2.<\/p>\n

“I had very good discussions with the Schalke officials and I’m looking forward to training with the team,” Karius said. <\/p>\n

“Schalke 04 is a big club with passionate fans, I’ve always felt that at my games in the arena.”<\/p>\n

Karius was at Liverpool between 2016 and 2022, making 49 appearances, including starting their 2018 Champions League final defeat by Real Madrid.<\/a><\/p>\n

After loan spells at Besiktas and Union Berlin he signed for Newcastle<\/a> as a free agent in September 2022, however he featured just twice.<\/p>\n

The German will compete with Justin Heekeren for the number one spot.<\/p>\n

“We didn’t want to see any loss of quality in the goalkeeper team,” director of professional football Youri Mulder said. <\/p>\n

“We managed to do that by signing Loris Karius. He has many years of experience at the top level. <\/p>\n

“Loris is fit and can start team training straight away. He is the challenger, with Justin Heekeren as number 1.”<\/p>\n

Schalke return from their winter break with a trip to Braunschweig on Saturday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
