On 17 January 2013 it was announced that he was loaned to Winterthur[1] so that he could gain playing experience in a higher league. In Summer 2013 his contract with Basel ran out, therefore he signed for Winterthur and played 35 of the 36 games that season. In Summer 2014 he transferred to St. Gallen.[2]
