Club Career

Hamburg SV

As an 18-year-old, Zimmerman joined the German team Hamburg SV, where he spent most of his time with Hamburg's reserve U-23 team Hamburg SV II[1]. As a striker, Zimmerman played 13 games and scored three goals during the 2006-2007 season.[2] Zimmerman was originally signed while he was only 17 but the contract didn't become official until he turned 18, skirting FIFA's rules on foreign transfers by minors.[3]

Kapfenburger SV

After a trial stint at Belgian club Cercle Brugge, it was announced on August 29, 2008, that Zimmerman was sold to the newly-promoted Austrian Bundesliga club Kapfenberger SV, where he signed a two-year deal.<ref> http://www.hsv.de/index.php?id=16047&tx_ttnews%5Btt_news%5D=3700&tx_ttnews%5BbackPid%5D=16043&cHash=2ab74f9241. {{cite web}}: Missing or empty |title= (help) He made his debut on September 24 against Karnten.

International Career

Zimmerman was a last-minute addition to the U.S. team at the 2007 FIFA U-20 World Cup in Canada following an injury to Johann Smith, but he did not see any playing time. He has since been called up to U-23 camps.
