Alexander Schwolow was born on the 2nd of June, 1992 in Germany and is currently age 33. He is a goalkeeper for the Scottish club, Hearts, standing at 6ft 2in (1.9m) and weighing in at 13st 5lb (85kg). He sports the number 25 on his jersey representing his club. His market value is approximated at around €500k, which translates to roughly £425,000 as is reported upon Transfermarkt.
He started his career by joining the German club Freiburg in July 2010 and had his debut season in 2013 - 2014. Over multiple seasons, he proved to be a stalwart in goal, making constant appearances from season 2015-16 to 2019-20 with a slight drop in his final season, where he made 24 appearances.
His tenacity earned him a loan transfer to Arminia Bielefeld in the 2. Bundesliga in June 2014, making 37 appearances during the loan term. He returned to Freiburg in June 2015 after his successful spell at Bielefeld.
In August 2020, Schwolow made a significant move. He was transferred from Freiburg to The Old Lady, Hertha BSC, for a whopping fee of £7.2m. At Hertha, he was a regular in goal over two seasons.
His journey in German football didn't stop there. In July 2022, he was loaned to Schalke 04 and made 23 appearances over there. Following the loan term, in July 2023, Schwolow was transferred to another German outfit, Union Berlin. His stint at Berlin was rather quiet, making only seven league appearances over two seasons.
In a surprising turn of events, in August 2025, he moved out of German football to join Hearts in the Scottish Premiership. He is currently in his first season with the club, having made five league appearances so far.
