German made his first appearance of the 2012–13 season on 9 October, coming on as a substitute in a 1–0 Football League Trophy win over Crawley Town. He made his next appearance over a month later in the league against Preston North End, coming on as a substitute and scoring an 89th-minute equaliser, his only goal for the club. He made three more substitute appearances in the 2012–13 season.
On 26 February, German signed for League Two side Gillingham on a month's loan.[19] He went straight into the squad for Gillingham's league match against Oxford United that night, coming on as a 79th-minute substitute in a 1–0 defeat. Two games later at home to Plymouth Argyle, he received his first start and scored his first Gillingham goal. He made four more non-goalscoring appearances before returning to Brentford after the completion of his loan.
On 27 June 2013, German signed for newly promoted Gillingham on a permanent basis after rejecting the offer of a new contract at Brentford.[20] He was made available for transfer by Martin Allen on 13 September.[21]
On 1 January 2014, German signed for Northampton Town on a month-long loan. This was later extended until the end of the season.[22]
