Early life

Born in the United States to an American father and Japanese mother, Schmidt moved to Sendai at the age of two. He attended Chuo University.[1] [2]

Style of play

Schmidt is known for his ability with long balls to forwards and his frequency of coming off his line in precise timing to deal with threats early. He is also credited as a good penalty saver.

Club career

Schmidt played three consecutive seasons as a Special Designated Player for Kawasaki Frontale before entering the professional ranks in 2013.[3]

He later signed for Vegalta Sendai,[4] but Schmidt played his first pro match during a one-month loan to Roasso Kumamoto in April 2014.[5] After playing his first ever game with Vegalta in J. League Cup, he was again loaned to Roasso, this time until the end of 2015 season.[6] A third loan was established in 2016, this time to Matsumoto Yamaga.[7]

In 2019, he finally transferred overseas to Sint-Truiden in Belgium.

International career

On 30 August 2018, Schmidt received his first international callup from the Japan national football team for the Kirin Challenge Cup 2018.[8] He made his debut appearance in a friendly match against Venezuela on 16 November 2018 and played his first competitive match for Japan on 17 January 2019 in the 2-1 win against Uzbekistan during the 2019 AFC Asian Cup.[9]

In September 2022, he saved the team from a desperate pinch by stopping the penalty against Ecuador and was selected as MOTM of the media.[10][11] It was also the number one trend on Twitter.[12][13]
