Club career

Yelldell was the first choice goalkeeper for TuS Koblenz until suffering a knee ligament injury which kept him out of the final four matches of the 2009–10 2. Bundesliga season, when the club were relegated to the 3rd Liga.[3]

He signed with MSV Duisburg before the 2010–11 season and made his competitive debut for the club in a first round DFB-Pokal match against VfB Lübeck on 13 August 2010.[4]

The next season saw him signing with Bundesliga giants Bayer Leverkusen. He made his competitive debut for the club in a first round DFB-Pokal match, a 3–4 loss at Dynamo Dresden on 30 July 2011.

International career

The offspring of a German mother and an American father, Yelldell holds dual citizenship. Thus he would have been eligible to play international football for either the United States or Germany.[5] He was first called up by the US team in 2011, for a friendly against Argentina. Yelldell earned his first national team cap three days later, on March 29, 2011, in an other friendly against Paraguay, substituting Marcus Hahnemann at half time.
