Club career

Burchert began his career with Wartenberger SV. In summer 2002, he was scouted by Hertha BSC.[2] He signed his first professional contract on 30 January 2008. Burchert made his Hertha debut on 17 September 2009 in a Europa League match against Latvian side, FK Ventspils,[3] and came on in the twenty-first minute, replacing starting goalkeeper Jaroslav Drobný.

Burchert played his first Bundesliga game on 20 September 2009 against Hamburger SV. In his second game, he conceded two strange goals. Having replaced the injured Timo Ochs with the score at 1–1, Burchert was caught off his line, having headed a clearance from a through ball. Hamburg's David Jarolím volleyed the ball into an empty net from long range. Two minutes later, the same thing happened. Zé Roberto scored from the edge of the centre circle, and Burchert was off his line after another headed clearance.[4]

In the 2013–14 season Burchert was pushed further down the pecking order for Hertha, as the side has preferred Thomas Kraft and Marius Gersbeck over him.

On 25 April 2015, Burchert started his first match in the Bundesliga in five years in a 1–0 loss against Bayern Munich.[5] He conceded an 80th-minute goal to Bastian Schweinsteiger.[5] Hertha BSC had been on a seven match undefeated streak.[5]

On 20 June 2016, Burchert signed with Greuther Fürth.[6]

On 8 August 2022, Burchert moved to FC St. Pauli.[7]

Personal life

Sascha is the brother of fellow goalkeeper Nico Burchert, playing for Paderborn.[8]
