Soccer Player Furloughed
by Brian and Jessica Schwake
My son, Brian Schwake, had just kicked off his professional soccer career with Livingston FC in the Scottish Premier League when Covid 19 struck. He was furloughed one day after he received his clearance and returned home in April.
The timeline was as follows:
- Obtained dual citizenship Luxembourg passport on February 26. EU Citizenship allows him to work in the UK.
- Signed with Livingston FC on February 27, 2020.
– Here is a newspaper article on his signing from Scottish Daily Record: https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/local-sport/livingston-goalkeeper-brian-schwake-says-21639315
- Received international clearance from FIFA, US Soccer and Scottish soccer on Thursday March 12, 2020, enabling him to begin playing in games.
- League was suspended March 13 and he was furloughed.
- Stayed with good friend Ryan Schofield in GK for Huddersfield waiting to see if he’d be recalled.
- Returned home by April 9.
- Back in Scotland as of yesterday, June 14, 2020 for two weeks of quarantine before training starts.
Below is the release and a few pages from his scrapbook.
