Fulham defender Sascha Riether has joined Bundesliga side Freiburg for an undisclosed fee, the London club have confirmed.
The German-born full-back arrived at Craven Cottage on loan from Cologne two years ago before making the deal permanent for a fee in the region of £1.2m.
Riether made 72 appearances for the Cottagers, scoring just once, but has opted to move on following their relegation from the Barclays Premier League.
