After good performances there, he became a member of the first team's squad for the 2011–12 Bundesliga season, but did not make an appearance. Because the club had several further young strikers, it was decided that Uth could leave the club.

On 4 May 2025, Uth announced that he would retire from professional football at the end of the current season.[11] On 18 May 2025, Uth played his last professional career game and scored a goal against Kaiserslautern at the 2024–25 2. Bundesliga final round.[12]
