Signed by Livingston after a freshman college season at DePaul Blue Demons in his native United States.[4] Schwake's first months in Scotland were complicated by the restrictions of the COVID-19 pandemic. He spent a loan spell with Linlithgow Rose in 2020, featuring in their run in the 2020–21 Scottish Cup,[5][6] and another loan with Edinburgh City in the 2021–22 season.[1][7][8]
Schwake had a successful 2021-22 season on loan with Edinburgh City. He appeared in 34 league games with 125 saves, second to Craig Gordon for number of saves in the SPFL.[9] He was named to SPFL Team of the Week on August 17, 2021,[10] and again on March 15, 2022.[11] Schwake played a key role in Edinburgh City’s promotion to League 1, being named Man of the Match by BBC Alba for his saves in the second leg of the promotion play-off final.[12] Schwake was named to SPFL League 2 Team of the Season for 2021–22.[13]
On June 16, 2022, Livingston announced that Schwake had been loaned to Greenock Morton for the 2022–23 season. Livingston retained the option to recall Schwake in January 2023.[14]
