[2] Bigger clubs became interested in him and he was invited to trial for the SC Freiburg and Hamburger SV youth teams.
[10] Despite interest from several Major League Soccer teams during his tenure, he chose to play all four of his eligible years with Louisville, rather than to leave early to turn professional,[11] declining two Generation Adidas offers in the process.
[11] During the NCAA offseason, in 2015, he played for his hometown team VfL Nagold, in the Verbandsliga Württemberg, the sixth tier of the German football league system,[8] helping them avoid relegation, and returned again in 2016.
[20] He played for a year with Toronto FC II, but his contract was not renewed,[21] upon his request, as he wished to return to Germany to pursue coaching.
[24] Due to his commitments in the United States, he was forced to miss the final games of the season,[25] which would determine whether Nagold remained in the sixth-tier or was relegated.
[27] He retired after the season to pursue a coaching career full time in the United States while also completing his master's degree.
[5] In the fall of 2019, he returned to the United States to complete his master's degree at the University of North Carolina and joined the men's soccer program as the Director of Student Athlete Development and Operations.
