Career

After two seasons at Young Boys he returned to Basel where he finished his career in 1991.
He made his international debut in Switzerland's 2-0 win over Czechoslovakia in Basel on the 26 March 1980. After 29 caps his last game for Switzerland was in a 1-0 defeat to West Germany in Kaiserslautern on the 27 April 1988.
