The EV Ravensburg secured the services of Newhook initially for the period between 2005 and 2007 and the contract was for the 2007-08 season extended.

In Ravensburg he played a key role in the promotion, ended the 2006/07 season as the Ravensburger striker with the best points and was then voted Player of the Year.
