He was also part of the Sturm Graz side that won the Austrian Bundesliga during the 2023–24 season. Sturm Graz became the first new club in 11 years to win the league title, following Red Bull Salzburg's dominance of the league. It was the club's fourth league title in its history and the first championship since the 2010–11 season.
