The 26-year-old German international has put pen to paper on a deal until 2021 and is set to leave Schalke after five years spent with the Royal Blue.

“It is a childhood dream to play for this club. I could not say no to the opportunity to put on a Koln shirt”, Hoger said.
Marco Hoger endured difficult time at Schalke ever since his move in 2011.
He suffered a cruciate ligament injury in September 2015, but the Gelsenkirchen club have supported him throughout his injury woes by extending his contract by another year.

He made 87 Bundesliga appearances during his time in Schalke, scoring six goals in the process.
