Satosaari then returned to Finland for a season with Ässät, and in 2002-2003 he represented REV Bremerhaven in the German second league in the fall, and finished the year with Ilves. In 2003-2004 Satosaari returned to Newcastle to play for the Newcastle Vipers in the British National League before and moving to HK Olimpija Ljubljana in Slovenia for the 2004-2005 season.
