After 70 league matches and one goal for Gossau, he was dismissed on 23 November 2009, due to his involvement in an international match-fixing scandal.
In early 2010, he briefly played for FC Sirnach-Stella until he, along with former Gossau teammates Marc Lütolf and Darko Damjanović, were indefinitely suspended by the Swiss Football Association in May 2010.
This became apparent as the club lost numerous consecutive league games against both strong and weak opponents.
It remained unclear whether he accepted the offer, but he was suspended by FC Gossau and banned by the Swiss Football Association.
On Saturday, October 8, 2011, he spent the evening with friends at a floating restaurant on the Rhine near Gaissau in Austria.
