Liga against SV Darmstadt 98.[18] However, Degenek made only 9 appearances in the 2013–14 season, due to being sidelined with injuries.[19] He continued to be sidelined for most of the 2014–15 season, and as a result would not make a single appearance that season.[20] At the end of the 2014–15 season, Degenek was among those expected to leave the side.[21]

1860 Munich

At the start of the 2015–16 season, Degenek went on trial with 2. Bundesliga club 1860 Munich, and would eventually sign a two-year contract with the club.[22][23][24]

FC Heidenheim.[25] Since making his TSV 1860 Munich debut, Degenek established himself in the starting eleven, playing in the defensive midfield.[26] It wasn't until on 19 September 2015 when he scored his first goal for the club, in a 1–1 draw against 1. FC Kaiserslautern.[27] He started in every match since the start of the season until he was suspended for one game over picking five yellow cards in mid–October.[28] After that, he quickly regained his first team place later in the season despite facing competitions that saw him placed on the substitute bench.[29] Despite being suspended on two occasions, including a second bookable offence, in a 2–1 loss against MSV Duisburg on 15 April 2016,[30] Degenek went on to make 28 appearances and scoring once in all competitions at his first season at TSV 1860 Munich.

Marinos debut, Degenek established himself in the starting eleven for the side and started every match until he left to join the squad for the FIFA Confederations Cup.[37] He also helped the side goes a 14 matches unbeaten.[38] He then set up a goal for Takashi Kanai to help the side score the only goal in the game, in a 1–0 win over Ventforet Kofu.[39] Despite later being demoted to the substitute bench at the end of the 2017 season,[40] Degenek finished his first season at the club, making 28 appearances in all competitions. For his performance, he was named in the J.League Young Players' Best XI.[41]

Ahead of the 2018 season, the club saw a change of new management, as Ange Postecoglou was appointed as new manager, who first called him up for the senior team.[42] Degenek also signed a new contract with the club as well.[43] At the start of the 2018 season, Degenek continued to establish himself in the starting eleven, playing in the centre-back position.[44] He then scored his first goal for the club, in a 4–4 draw against Shonan Bellmare on 21 April 2018.[45] A month later, on 16 May 2018, he scored again in the J.League Cup Group Stage, in a 2–1 win over Albirex Niigata.[46] Three days later, on 19 May 2018, Degenek scored his third goal of the season, in a 5–2 win over V-Varen Nagasaki, in what turns out to be his last appearance for Yokohama F. Marinos.[47] He went on to make 15 appearances and scoring 3 times for the side in all competitions.
