After two years in Spain, Schorch returned to Germany and signed a four-year contract with 1. FC Köln, the transfer fee was believed to be €1 million.

He joined MSV Duisburg for the 2014–15 season.[3] At the end of season, Duisburg achieved promotion to 2. Bundesliga, however with Schorch not becoming a regular, starting only in 13 matches and being benched for 20 times. Accordingly, he did not receive an extension of his contract and remained a free agent until October when he was signed by his former club Energie Cottbus for the remainder of the 3. Liga season.[4][5]

In January 2019, Schorch was one of two players to be suspended by KFC Uerdingen 05 for "disciplinary reasons".[6] On 1 May 2019, it was confirmed, that Schorch would join 1. FC Saarbrücken for the 2019–20 season on a two-year deal.[7]

In March 2022, Schorch agreed the termination of his contract with Regionalliga side Wuppertaler SV following a lengthy injury.[8] Shortly afterwards, he announced his retirement from playing.[8]
