To Hungary and back
In December 2008 he went on a trial to Nemzeti Bajnokság I side Győri ETO FC and later signed a 3,5-year deal with the club, alongside teammate Tarmo Kink.

Khazar transfer listed the player for around $50,000. This time Šišov asked FIFA for help as the team did not pay the wages nor release the needed papers to join another club, but with no success.
