After one season he moved to Israel and played in Jerusalem for Hapoel and in the following season in the Spanish ACB league for the club from Murcia . At the bottom of the table and later relegated, he was released from his contract in January 2010 and moved to the French LNB Pro A for the Jeanne d'Arc club from Dijon , which had recently been taken over by former German national coach Henrik Dettmann as coach. Powell was only able to play two games for the club, which, like Murcia in Spain, was also relegated from bottom of the table at the end of the season.

In October 2010 he received a three-month contract with the German runner-up Deutsche Bank Skyliners from Frankfurt , which was extended despite Powell's knee injury in the meantime. After a cheekbone fracture , Powell ended the season wearing a mask. The second in the main round finally lost in the decisive game of the play-off semi- final series at home against Alba Berlin and thus missed a new edition of the previous year's final series against the eventual champions Brose Baskets from Bamberg . Powell himself missed a revenge against his compatriot Reyshawn Terry in the Bamberg jersey, to whom he had to leave the championship six years earlier in the NCAA final. After the end of the season Powell ended his playing career and hit the coaching career. His first coaching position is a job as an assistant coach with the Crusaders at Valparaiso University .
