UPCOMING TRANSFER
In December 2020 he announced he would be leaving German club GWD Minden at the end of the 2020/21 season to join fellow German team Rhein-Neckar Lowen ahead of the 2021/22 season. (handball-world.news, 29 Dec 2020)

HANDBALL OVER FOOTBALL
Growing up he also played football for the youth academy at Hamburger SV in Germany before decided to focus on handball during his teenage years. "In the D-youth I was a perspective player at HSV. This means that I was at training once or twice a week and played the tournaments. With the jump to the C-youth I had the opportunity to go to boarding school there, but I deliberately decided against it. It was already clear that I was not going in the direction of football. During this time there were probably also enquiries from other Bundesliga clubs, but I did not deal with that in more detail. I must have been 15 or 16 years old [when choosing handball]. I wanted to make a decision and I had to do so in terms of time. I chose handball because I just enjoyed it more." (kicker.de, 11 Mar 2021)
