Because of his good performance during the 2011/12 season , Bíreš was rarely used in the offspring.

In June 2012 he received a trial contract with the Eispiraten Crimmitschau , which was not extended. Therefore, he returned to Slovakia and went on the ice for the HK Orange 20 in the Slovak extra league . In the same year, however, he still signed a contract with the Heilbronner Falken . He then played in parallel in Germany and Slovakia .

Between 2015 and 2018 he was active for Moskitos Essen in the Oberliga Nord .

In this tournament he finished eighth with the U20 selection and scored four goals and two assists in the course of the tournament.
