Finally he could not establish himself in Wolfsburg, during the last season he even did not earn a single cap for the first team in all competitions.[1]

In summer 2016 Ochs joined 3. Liga side FSV Frankfurt.[2] In April 2018, he suffered a severe knee injury tearing his cruciate ligament as well as damaging his anterior ligament and meniscus.[3]
