(Reuters) – Goalkeeper Timo Horn will leave FC Cologne at the end of the season after 21 years, the Bundesliga club said on Thursday.<\/p>\n

The 29-year-old’s contract, which expires at the end of the season, has not been renewed after Horn expressed a desire to be first-choice again, with Cologne having Marvin Schwabe as their main keeper since last season.<\/p>\n

Horn joined the club as a nine-year-old in 2002 and made his first-team debut ten years later. He has 329 competitive games for the club. <\/p>\n

“To be part of the team and achieve that makes me incredibly proud,” Horn said in a statement. “However, my goal is to play every week and be there for my team.”<\/p>\n

Horn will be the second player to leave Cologne, as captain Jonas Hector will retire at the end of the campaign.<\/p>\n
