Uth started playing football at TuS Langel, a small club based in the south of Cologne. Having joined 1. FC Köln in 2004, he left in 2007 for Viktoria Köln.

1. FC Köln II

[edit | edit source]

In 2009, he returned to 1. FC Köln and was promoted to the second team playing in the fourth-tier Regionalliga West in 2010. After good performances there, he became a member of the first team's squad for the 2011–12 Bundesliga season, but did not make an appearance. Because the club had several further young strikers, it was decided that Uth could leave the club.

In May 2012, it was announced that Uth had signed for SC Heerenveen on a three-year contract.[3]

He scored a hat-trick while playing on loan for Heracles Almelo in their match against RKC Waalwijk on 28 September 2013.

In January 2020, it was announced that Köln had signed Uth from Schalke 04 on loan for the rest of the 2019–20 season.[10]

On 4 May 2025, Uth announced that he would retire from professional football at the end of the current season.[11] On 18 May 2025, Uth played his last professional career game and scored a goal against Kaiserslautern at the 2024–25 2. Bundesliga final round.[12]
