Pourie Seals Germany Return


Striker Marvin Pourie is back in his native Germany after joining Schalke from Liverpool for an undisclosed fee.

The teenager joined The Reds' academy in the summer of 2007 and had been a consistent scorer for Hughie McAuley's Under-18s side.

However, after failing to make the breakthrough at the Premier League giants the former Borussia Dortmund youngster has been allowed to leave.

Pourie has signed a four-a-half-year contract with Schalke that ties him to the Veltins-Arena outfit until the summer of 2013.

The 17-year-old, who won his first youth international cap for his country while at Anfield, will train with Schalke's first team but is expected to play in their Under-19s side for now.
