Bundesliga, where Wohlfarth scored eleven goals in 33 appearances. He made his debut in the 2. Bundesliga for Ingolstadt on 17 August 2008 when he started in a game against Greuther Fürth. [5] Having his career resurrected, his Ingolstadt career soon faded and under manager Benno Möhlmann, Wohlfarth left the club on 21 December 2010 by mutual consent with immediate effect.[ citation needed ]

After Bayern Munich II's relegation, Wohlfarth joined SV Wehen Wiesbaden on a two-year contract.[ citation needed ] He scored twice on his debut, in a 2–1 win over Werder Bremen II. In his first season, Wohlfarth was used more often in the first team, making 35 appearances and scoring 10 times. During the 2012–13 season his first-team opportunities became limited.On 2 January 2013, it was announced that Wohlfarth had left Wehen Wiesbaden by mutual consent with immediate effect. [6]

A week after his release, on 21 January 2013, Wohlfarth joined SPL side Ross County on a short term deal. [7] [8] Nine days later, he made his debut for the club, coming on as a substitute in a 1–0 win over Hibernian. He made ten appearances coming on as a substitute in the second half, including his first goal, which was a winner, in a 3–2 win over Celtic on 9 March 2013. [9] Several weeks later, on 6 April 2013, Wohlfarth scored twice, as Ross County lost 4–2 against Hearts. [10] At the end of the 2012–13 season, Wohlfarth said he might leave the club, citing personal reasons. [11] Having been offered a new contract by the club, Wohlfarth left the club. [12] Following his released from Ross County, Wohlfarth announced his retirement from professional football. [13]
