At EnBW Ludwigsburg he also played with a double license in the second German ProA league for the Kirchheim Knights. After a fifth place with promoted Kirchheim in the ProA 2008/09 and five short appearances in the Ludwigsburg first division team, he was initially used more and more often in the basketball Bundesliga 2009/10 before a herniated disc threw him back in February 2010.
