Following the season, he left Chivas to join lower-division Portuguese club Marinhas for the remainder of the 2006/07 season. He joined Swedish club Bodens BK in summer 2008 for a contract spanning the last half of the Swedish season. Helm scored the winning goal for BBK in his debut for the club on August 10, 2008.^[5]

In 2010, he returned to Bodens BK during the autumn,^[6]^[7] and in the last game of the season he scored the goal that secured the club's status as a Division 1 team for 2011.^[8]
