Career
After playing as a youth with Kickers Offenbach, he joined Bayern Munich as an 18-year-old, and was thrown into the first team in August 1991, replacing Michael Sternkopf in a 2–0 home defeat against VfL Bochum. This was to be his only appearance for Bayern, though, and after two years in the reserve team, he left the club, moving into amateur football.
