In June 2011 he was committed by Hämeenlinnan Pallokerho from the SM-liiga , but moved back to Třinec the following year.

During the 2012/13 season he was loaned to HC Kladno , with whom he was relegated to the second division in the Extraliga qualification. He was then signed by HC Košice from the Slovakian Extraliga in May 2014 , but did not play a competitive game for the club, but switched to the EC Graz 99ers in the Erste Bank Ice Hockey League in autumn of the same year .

After a year with the 99ers, he and three other foreigners were hired by the Dornbirn EC in July . A season later he moved back to Slovakia to HK Poprad . In 2017 he moved to EHC Winterthur in Switzerland .
