American forward Khiry Shelton is hoping to use his Bundesliga debut against Bayern Munich as a platform for more playing time at Paderborn.

Despite the result, the former USA U23 player was able to take a handful of positives from the experience. I have a lot of respect for [Bayern], and obviously they are tremendous players. Not that Shelton is a stranger to rubbing shoulders with players of the ilk of Bayern's star-studded ensemble.
The 6'3" forward, who started out as a right-sided attacker before being repurposed in a central role, registered four goals and six assisted in his breakout MLS campaign in , but has been hampered by physical problems ever since.
