Club career

He started his career at Austrian giants FK Austria Wien in 1997 where he broke into the first team in 2001. His good displays earned him a call up to the Austrian national team. He moved to Swiss League club FC Basel in 2004 but he failed to force his way into the team and was second choice behind Pascal Zuberbühler. In June 2005 he moved back on loan to Austria with VfB Admira Wacker Mödling and in autumn 2006 he had an unsuccessful trial at Vitesse in the Dutch Eredivisie.
