In 2015, he signed a professional contract with the club.[2] He made his senior début on 2 August 2015, in a 1–0 loss to Aberdeen in the opening match of the 2015–16 Scottish Premiership season.

Zwick was released by Dundee United when his contract expired at the end of the 2016–17 season.[3] Returning to Germany, he signed for 3. Liga club Hansa Rostock in June 2017.[4] Two months later, he left Rostock without having earned made any appearances and joined fourth tier club Hertha BSC II on a season-long loan.[5]

After parting ways with Rostock following his loan spell with Hertha II, he joined FSV Optik Rathenow. There, a series of strong performances helped the club escape relegation and lead him to sign a three-year contract with Regionalliga Bayern powerhouse side, FC Schweinfurt. In 2020-21, Zwick captained Schweinfurt in the first-round proper of the DFB Pokal against Bundesliga side, Schalke 04, losing 4-1.
