Bundesliga and 10 in the Regionalliga Süd. He could not beat keeper Philipp Heerwagen to the number one spot, and moved to Borussia Fulda in January 2004.

After half a year in Fulda, he moved to TuS Koblenz where he played until summer 2008. In 2006, he was in the team that got promoted to the 2. Bundesliga. Eventually he lost his number one spot, and he was released on a free transfer. On 1 July 2008, he signed for SV Sandhausen. He moved to SSV Reutlingen in 2014.
