After leaving LA, Cream went on trial with 1. Bundesliga sides Werder Bremen and Mainz 05 and 2. Bundesliga sides FC Cologne and Borussia Mönchengladbach. Cream eventually signed a professional contract with SV Meppen after the American was referred to the club by Werder Bremen coaching staff. He scored 2 goals in 12 league appearances before leaving the club by mutual consent. Whilst still under contract with Meppen, Cream trained with Dutch second tier side BV Veendam, however all parties failed to agree terms on a transfer.
