He made his first appearance for the Tampere-based club on September 13, 2008, in an away match against FC KooTeePee. After featuring in 4 matches, he suffered an injury which ruled him out for the rest of the season and the club decided not to offer him an extension to his contract.

On March 18, 2009, he signed with the Charleston Battery of the USL First Division.[7]

On January 13, 2010 he was traded to the Montreal Impact of the USSF Division 2.[8]In 2011, he returned to the PDL to sign with his hometown FC London.[9]In 2012, he won the PDL Champrionship after defeating Carolina Dynamo by a score of 2-1.[10]
