He later played for Real Betis and Seiko in Hong Kong. While at Betis, they won the 1977 Copa del Rey but he was denied a winners medal since foreigners were not allowed to play in the cup competition.
In 1983 he won the Dutch Eerste Divisie title with DS '79, but the club was relegated from the Eredivisie the next year which prompted him to return for a final season to Volendam.
