In the 2015 offseason, Koenis signed a 2-year deal with ZZ Leiden.

On 9 June 2017, returned to Donar by signing a 3-year contract.[4] On 10 January 2018, Koenis scored 25 points while shooting 9/9 from the field, accumulating an efficiency rating of 36 in a 109–69 win against Keravnos in the FIBA Europe Cup. This earned him the Top Performer honour for Round 2 of the FIBA Europe Cup second round.[5] In the 2017–18 season, Koenis was named to the All-DBL Team for the first time.[6]

On 25 June 2022, Koenis announced his retirement from professional basketball at age 32.[7] On 6 December 2022, Donar retired Koenis' jersey number 14, while also naming a stand in the MartiniPlaza after him.[8]
