Fabian Ernst (born 30 May 1979 in Hannover) is a German footballer who last played for Kasımpaşa S.K. as a midfielder. He is regarded as a two-way player who can stop the opposition and start attacks with his passing from central midfield.

Career

He started his career with Hannover 96. From 1998 to 2000 he played for Hamburger SV in the Bundesliga, playing in 48 games, but scoring no goals. The midfielder turned then to Werder Bremen, where he was a major force in the league and cup double in 2004. In 152 games in the Bundesliga he scored 11 goals. He left after spending three and a half year at Schalke and joined Beşiktaş J.K. on 2 February 2009. The player signed a contract which lasted until 2012.[2] In his first season in Beşiktaş J.K. he scored two goals. In the end of the season he was elected "The Best Player Of The Team" by the supporters. On 16 September 2010, Ernst headed in a last-minute goal against Bulgarian side CSKA Sofia to help his team to a winning start in the group stages of the UEFA Europa League. In the 2012–13 season he joined Kasımpaşa S.K., another football club headquartered in Istanbul. He was also captain of the team. In June 2013, he announced that he has thinking about retirement.[3]

International

In 2002 he played his first international game, representing Germany against Kuwait. Ernst was a member of the German squad at Euro 2004. As of the end of 2007, he has won 24 caps and scored one goal for his country.

After that first season by Schalke 04, he found himself not being selected by his national squad for FIFA World Cup 2006, just like for Euro 2008 and FIFA World Cup 2010.
