Club career
Mainz 05
Kirchhoff made his professional debut in the 2. Bundesliga for 1. FSV Mainz 05 on 2 November 2008, when he started in a game against Rot Weiss Ahlen. He has been regarded as one of the most talented defenders in the Bundesliga.[4]
Bayern Munich
On 4 January 2013, Kirchoff signed a pre-contract with Bayern Munich, agreeing to join them for the 2013–14 season as a free agent.[5]
Schalke 04 (loan)

On 7 January 2016, Kirchhoff signed an 18-month contract[8] with Sunderland for an undisclosed fee.[9] On 16 January 2016, Kirchhoff made his debut for Sunderland as a 59-minute substitute.[10] Kirchhoff made a poor start as he deflected a shot from Christian Eriksen which led to a goal, and conceded a penalty with a foul on Danny Rose.[11] Since then the German has mainly been deployed in a defensive midfield role where he has earned plaudits due to his precise tackling and passing. [12] Kirchhoff was voted the PFA Fans' Player of the Month for April for his performances as Sunderland fought against relegation.[13]
