In 2023-2024, he moved to Germany in the ranks of Göttingen; his impact with European basketball was positive (7.8 points and 5.1 rebounds in the Bundesliga) and also allowed him to try his hand at the FIBA Europe Cup (9.1 points and 6.3 rebounds), a competition in which he got to face Varese itself during the Regular Season. This year he played in the Australian league with the New Zealand Breakers.
