He joined Scottish Premier League club Dundee United on a short-term deal after a successful trial. He joined Bayern Munich II in July 2011 and ended his first season as joint top scorer (with Saër Sène), scoring 8 goals.
In 2012, he moved on a free transfer to De Graafschap. On 1 February 2014 his contract got dissolved.
