After a trip to Great Britain, where he played for the Ayr Scottish Eagles , he returned to Germany in 1997 and played for the ERC Selb and until 2002 for the EV Regensburg , where he became player- coach in January 2002 and after his career in the summer of 2002 until 2006 worked as a sports manager.
