That season he was Arminia's top scorer with sixteen goals from thirty-three games and thus had a large share in the rise. However, they did not manage to keep the class for the next 2010/11 season . During the summer break, he then accepted the offer from KAS Eupen and switched to the second division free of charge . There he became a regular player straight away and with 15 goals in 30 games the club's top goalscorer and fourth-best goalscorer in the league.
