In July 2009, he joined Excelsior on loan in the Eerste Divisie. In June 2010, Janota left Feyenoord on a free transfer and signed a two-year contract with Eerste Divisie side Go Ahead Eagles, with an option for a third year.[2] The team reached the 2010–11 promotion playoffs but dropped out in the first round.
