He started his professional career at Hamburger SV in September 2004 and made his Bundesliga debut as a second-half substitute in the club's away match against VfB Stuttgart on September 11, 2004. Prior to his professional debut, he spent one season playing for VfL Bochum's amateur squad and was signed by HSV's amateur squad in July 2004. Between 2004 and 2006, he played regularly for HSV's amateurs in the Regionalliga Nord and only occasionally appeared for the club's professional squad in the Bundesliga, making 14 appearances and scoring one goal in two seasons. His first and so far only Bundesliga goal was the 1-1 equaliser that secured one point for HSV in an away match against Werder Bremen on December 18, 2005. He scored the goal only two minutes after entering the match as a substitute. Playing for HSV's amateur squad in the Regionalliga Nord, he made 40 appearances and scored 22 goals in two seasons. In the 2005-06 season, he also made three appearances for HSV in the UEFA Cup.

In August 2006, HSV loaned him on Second Bundesliga side SpVgg Greuther Fürth for one season, until June 2007. He made his debut for the club in the Second Bundesliga on August 27, 2006 in their 3-1 defeat to Hansa Rostock at home, playing as a second-half substitute.
