SV Werder Bremen and Lukas Schmitz will part ways as the leftback is transferring for next season to second division side Fortuna Düsseldorf, as manager Thomas Eichin confirmed Wednesday. Neither side released details about the formalities of the transfer.

"Lukas did not play very much in the second half so both sides decided that a transfer is the best thing. We wish him all the best along the way," said Eichin.

Schmitz, who passed the sports physical with Fortuna in the morning, arrived at Werder in the summer of 2011 from Schalke 04. He appeared in 53 Bundesliga matches for the Green-Whites though he didn't score a goal. The defender also played one match in the German DFB Cup for Werder.
