In the 2011 and 2012 season, he played for Volga in the Russian Youth/Reserves Championship. He made 25 appearances and scored one goal in the 2011 season, 7 appearances with no goals in the 2012 season[2] , and 27 appearances with no goals in 2012–13.[3] In the 2013–14 season, he played for FC Gagra in the Georgian Premier League.

On 13 February 2015, after passing trials, he signed a year and a half contract with Serbian side FK Vojvodina.[5] However, after not playing a single official game for the club, the contract with Vojvodina was mutually terminated after just six months.[6]

In summer 2016, he returned to Georgia and signed with FC Zugdidi.[4]
