After relegation in 1976 to the then third league Oberliga Westfalen , he continued to play for DJK Gütersloh until the merger with SVA Gütersloh and played all 78 games by 1978, scoring a total of ten goals. After the merger, he moved to the upper division club TSG Harsewinkel on a free transfer .
