In 2010 he ventured to Germany with a one-year loan. He joined the youth department of TSG Hoffenheim. In 23 league games he was able to score 11 goals. Thanks to him, Hoffenheim was able to qualify for the finals of the U-17 Bundesliga, but was eliminated in the first round against the youth of 1. FC Köln . In 2011 he was drawn back to the Grasshoppers. He played there for the second team in what was then the 1st League Classic Group 2. In the first half of the season he only made a few short appearances or was not in the squad. It wasn't until the second half of the season that he became an important player.

The team qualified for the championship finals and won the German A-Junior championship in the final of the 2012/13 season . Then he returned to the Grasshoppers. There he again failed to make a breakthrough in the professional squad and had to play for the second team. At the end of the season there were seven goals in 12 games.

Return to Wolfsburg and FC Vaduz

After that, his contract with Grasshopper Club Zurich ended and he moved to the second team from VfL Wolfsburg in the Football Regionalliga Nord . There he became a top performer again and scored 11 goals in 26 games in the 2014/15 season. In August 2015 he left VfL Wolfsburg and joined FC Vaduz .
