Club career

Youth

Uth started playing football at TuS Langel, a small club based in the south of Cologne. Having joined 1. FC Köln in 2004, he left in 2007 for Viktoria Köln.

1. FC Köln II

In 2009, he returned to 1. FC Köln and was promoted to the second team playing in the fourth-tier Regionalliga West in 2010. After good performances there, he became a member of the first team's squad for the 2011–12 Bundesliga season, but did not make an appearance. Because the club had several further young strikers, it was decided that Uth could leave the club.

SC Heerenveen

In May 2012, it was announced that Uth had signed for SC Heerenveen on a three-year contract.[2]

He scored a hat-trick while playing on loan for Heracles Almelo in their match against RKC Waalwijk on 28 September 2013.

1899 Hoffenheim

He signed for Bundesliga side 1899 Hoffenheim in July 2015. Depending on the source, the transfer fee paid to Heerenveen was reported as €2 to 3 million.[3][4][5][6]

Schalke 04

In January 2018, it was announced that Uth would move to Schalke 04 on a free transfer in summer. He signed a contract until 2022.[7][8]

1. FC Köln (loan)

In January 2020, it was announced that Köln had signed Uth from Schalke 04 on loan for the rest of the 2019–20 season.[9]

International career

Uth has earned one cap for the Germany U20 team. In a 3–2 victory versus Switzerland on 6 September 2010 he was put in for Cenk Tosun in the 65th minute.[10]

On 5 October 2018, Uth was called up to the Germany national football team for the first time, featuring in the squad for the UEFA Nations League matches against the Netherlands and France.[11]
