Career

Early career

His previous clubs include Bayern Munich and 1860 Munich, where he spent three years as a youth, before joining SpVgg Unterhaching where he made his senior debut.

Tremmel left Bavaria in 2002 for spells at Hannover 96 then Hertha BSC, where he spent 2004–05 in the reserve side. He joined Cottbus in 2006 on a two-year contract and announced his intention to leave the club on 29 April 2010.[4] On 7 May 2010, his transfer to Hertha BSC for the upcoming season was confirmed,[5] but the transfer failed and he signed for FC Red Bull Salzburg on 20 May 2010.[6]

Swansea City

He joined Swansea City on 30 August 2011 on a free transfer following their promotion to the Premier League.[7][8][9] Brendan Rodgers had brought Tremmel to South Wales and signed him after his impressive pre-season performances against Celtic and Real Betis.

He made his competitive debut for Swansea on 7 January 2012 in an FA Cup fixture at Barnsley, helping his team to a 2–4 away win.[10] Tremmel made his Premier League debut on 26 February 2012 in a 2–0 away loss against Stoke City at the Britannia Stadium.

He made his fourth appearance for Swansea and first in the 2012–13 season in a 3–1 win against Barnsley in the league cup.[11]

Following an injury suffered by first choice goalkeeper Michel Vorm on 27 October 2012, Tremmel started to have a run of games in the Swansea team for the first time.[12]

Swansea, now with Tremmel in the side, went on a seven-match unbeaten run that included memorable away wins at Liverpool in the League Cup and Newcastle and Arsenal in the Premier League.[13] He also managed to keep clean sheets against the likes of Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool. These performances were met with praise from then manager Michael Laudrup who said 'Gerhard has done well and it is very important to know you have a goalkeeper of quality when things happen'.[14]

On 7 February 2013, Swansea announced that they had extended their contract with the Bavarian until the summer of 2015.[15]

On 24 February 2013, Tremmel helped Swansea beat Bradford City 5–0 to win the 2012–13 Football League Cup by the competitions highest-ever winning margin for the final. This achievement landed Swansea's first major trophy as well as qualification for the 2013–14 UEFA Europa League. German mass tabloid Bild hailed Tremmel's "career highlight" at the "legendary" Wembley Stadium and a just reward for 15 years of hard work and professionalism in the game.[16]

On 28 May 2015, Tremmel confirmed that he would not be renewing his contract with Swansea City and would therefore be released by the club.[17] On 11 August, Tremmel re-joined Swansea, signing a two-year contract to keep him at the club until June 2017.[18]
