Benjamin Tonnesen Schubert (born 22 September 1996) is a Danish professionalfootballer who plays as agoalkeeper forVestri in the IcelandicBesta deild karla.
Shubert played youth football forSilkeborg IF.[2] His first senior club wasKjellerup IF, where he spent four seasons before leaving at the end of 2019.[3][4]
In January 2019, Shubert moved toKolding IF of theDanish 1st Division.[5][6] Schubert made three appearances in his first half-season with the club, thereby contributing to Kolding’s promotion to the2019–20 Danish 1st Division. He left the club at the end of 2020 upon the expiration of his contract.[7]
After leaving Kolding, Shubert spent five months training withFC Olimpik Donetsk of the Ukrainian Premier League. No agreement was reached, however, and he subsequently travelled to his father’s homeland of South Africa, where he trained with a local club for several weeks.[8]
In September 2021, Schubert was announced as a new signing forJammerbugt FC, joining the club after first-choice goalkeeper Nicolaj Christensen suffered an injury.[9] Without having made his debut, Schubert left the club in January 2022 to joinSønderjyske of theDanish Superliga, signing a contract until the end of the season.[10] Schubert left the club again at the end of the season.[11]
In September 2022, Schubert signed withFaroe Islands Premier League sideB68 Toftir.[12] After six appearances in which Schubert guarded the net and helped the team secure its top-flight status in the top Faroese league,[13] he extended his contract to cover the 2023 season as well.[14][15]
After the turn of the year in 2024, Schubert again travelled to South Africa and trained withBlack Leopards of the South African second tier with a view to a transfer.[16] Registration issues meant the move was not finalised until 2 April 2023, the very day he made his debut in a 2–4 defeat toVenda FC.[17] Later that month, Schubert—by his own account—was eager to leave the club, describing his experience there ascompletely insane andtruly grotesque. He consequently terminated his contract shortly thereafter.[16] The ordeal did not dampen Schubert’s resolve; he subsequently trained with another South African top-flight club. However, disagreements prevented the move from being completed.[18]
In August 2024, Schubert signed withVestri in the IcelandicBesta deild karla.[19] On 22 August 2025, he won theIcelandic Cup with Vestri.[20]
Shubert's father is South African, while his mother is Danish.[21]
