Beginning of the 2007/08 season he became the farm team , the Peoria Rivermen , deported, he that in October 2007 a one-year contract for 900,000 dollars at Ak Bars Kazan completed. Before the 2008/09 season he moved to HK Dynamo Moscow , where he could not confirm his previous year's performance, so he did not receive a contract extension.

In May 2011 he returned to his hometown club and acted as team captain for the following four years. In 2013 he became Czech runners-up with Zlín, before winning the first Czech championship of his career a year later .
After his team left the playoffs in 2015, he ended his career.
