Born in Biggar, South Lanarkshire, Schaedler started his career at Stirling Albion in 1969 before moving to Hibernian later that year. It was at Easter Road that he would enjoy his greatest success, forming part of the "Turnbull's Tornadoes" side that won the Drybrough Cup then League Cup in 1972–73, and the Drybrough Cup in 1973–74. This side also finished second in the Scottish League in consecutive seasons.

Schaedler moved to Dundee in 1977, where he won a First Division championship in 1978–79. He returned to Hibs in 1981, playing for four seasons before moving to Dumbarton. By 1984, he was running a public house, Shades, on Easter Road, Edinburgh, receiving a bravery award from Lothian and Borders Police in December 1984 when he and two police constables (who also received awards) confronted a man carrying a loaded shotgun at the pub. Schaedler was still playing senior football when he committed suicide at the age of 36 on Christmas Eve 1985 in the Cardrona Forest.
