In 2019, he changed clubs to Århus Håndbold. Initially it was a one-year contract, which was extended further 2 years. When that contract was up, he returned to GOG Håndbold when his club Århus Håndbold went bankrupt.[4] Here he won the Danish Championship twice in 2022 and 2023.
For the 2023-24 season he joined German side SG Flensburg-Handewitt.[5] Here he won the EHF European League in both 2024 and 2025.
