In June 2018, the 17-year-old striker received a professional contract that initially ran until 2020. He took part in the professionals' summer training camp and finally made his Bundesliga debut on September 15, 2018 in a 2-1 win in the 05er's home game against FC Augsburg.At the end of the season he had played four Bundesliga games; he had also played twice for the Mainz second team in the Regionalliga Südwest. Until the end of the 2018/19 season, he was still eligible to play for the Mainz youth team and was also used there.

In the 2020/21 season he played in 29 of the 34 Bundesliga games and scored two goals, including the opening goal in Mainz's 2-1 win over eventual champions Bayern Munich on Matchday 31.
