After three years with Hertha, he initially signed a one-year contract with FC Hansa Rostock.[citation needed] In Rostock, he played for the reserves during his first year, before being promoted to the first team in 2008.[1] In February 2008 he was rewarded with a professional contract running from July 2008 till 2010.[2] On 9 March 2009, he was suspended from the senior team, and returned to play for the reserve team.[3] On 18 August 2009, he was released from his contract and became a free agent.[3]

He subsequently signed with FC Carl Zeiss Jena until 2010.[3] On 20 April 2010, he announced his departure for the end of the season and signed for Fortuna Düsseldorf on a two-year contract the same day.[4]
