With his steady powerful midfield-play he helped the Athletiks back to top-flight in 1995, became soon one of Austrians top-clubs again. After winning the Cup and the Supercup in 2000 and 2002, he left GAK in summer 2003 for a short-term for Maribor until winter 2004, before he went back to Austria, this time for Second Division side LASK Linz, where he played from spring 2005 to summer 2006.
