Professional

In February 2000 the Tampa Bay Mutiny selected Schulte in the fifth round (fifty-first overall) in the 2000 MLS SuperDraft.

He returned to the United States and joined the Columbus Crew for the 2005 Major League Soccer season. At the end of 2005, Schulte moved to Uruguay where he signed with the Montevideo Wanderers of the Primera División Uruguaya, but saw very little playing time due to a chipped bone in his ankle, [4] and moved back to ÍBV Vestmannaeyjar for the 2006 Icelandic season.
