Global Sport Group Announces Signing of Middlesborough Keeper Mark Schwarzer

New York, New York. March 1, 2007. Global Sport Group, LLC, the international player representation company, today announced the signing of Mark Schwarzer, the star Middlesborough goalkeeper in the UK Premiership and Australian National Team. Schwarzer's selection of Global Sport Group as his management company marks an end to the ten year relationship that Schwarzer had with his prior representative.

Schwarzer has recently been reported to be in play, with a possible move to back to the German Bundesliga as early as this summer. "Mark is one of the best and most experienced goalkeepers in the world today," said Shep Messing, Managing Director of Global Sport Group. "He's on top of his game and enjoying the game today more than ever. Wherever he plays, Mark has many great years ahead of him," added Messing, who was, himself, a well-known goalkeeper for the New York Cosmos, playing alongside soccer greats Pelé and Franz Beckenbauer.

Schwarzer becomes the latest major international to engage Global Sport Group as his representation agency. Global has been gaining worldwide recognition as it campaigns for players' rights worldwide and against the use of unprofessional intermediaries that have plagued professional soccer for years.
