Tobias Steffen

Steffen joined Bayer Leverkusen from VfL Osnabrück in 2009, and was promoted to the reserve team during the 2010–11 season. He made an immediate impact, scoring eight goals in fifteen games, and went on loan to Energie Cottbus of the 2. Bundesliga in July 2011. He made his Cottbus debut as a substitute for Dimitar Rangelov in a 2–0 away win over Alemannia Aachen in August 2008, but only made one other appearance and returned to Leverkusen half-way through the season. For the 2012–13 season he was named as an auxiliary member of the first-team squad, and was named in the starting eleven for a UEFA Europa League tie against Metalist Kharkiv in November 2012. Steffen left Leverkusen in July 2013, signing for Fortuna Köln. He helped Fortuna win the Regionalliga West title in the 2013–14 season, and promotion to the 3. Liga after a playoff victory over Bayern Munich II before joining Rot-Weiss Essen in July 2014.
