Florian Rudy

Rudy played as a youth for four of southwest Germany's top clubs (VfB Stuttgart, 1899 Hoffenheim, 1. FC Kaiserslautern and Karlsruher SC), but it was with FC 08 Villingen of the Oberliga Baden-Württemberg that he made his breakthrough in senior football. He spent three and a half years with the club, making over a hundred appearances, before joining SpVgg Unterhaching of the 3. Liga in January 2012. He made his debut for the club a month later, as a substitute for Ömer Kanca in a 5–1 defeat to Chemnitzer FC, and made a further five appearances before the end of the season. After making no appearances during the first half of the 2012–13 season, he joined Regionalliga Bayern side SV Heimstetten on a six-month loan in January 2013. At the end of the season, the move was made permanent.
