After three years he moved to the first division club E&O Emmen, where he made his debut in the Dutch premier league and won the Dutch Cup in 2002 and 2003. In 2003 Lochtenbergh was looking for a new challenge and signed a contract with the German second division club TSV Bayer Dormagen. In his first season in Germany he was elected to the all-star team in the second division.

For the 2015/2016 season, VfL Gummersbach and TuS Derschlag in the 3rd division (VfL Gummersbach II) and Oberliga (TuS Derschlag) formed the Handball Sport Gummersbach / Derschlag community at Lochtenbergh who acted as the coach of the third division team until December 2015.
