He never made a competitive first team appearance during his season with the club.

Described as a "destroyer" by manager Ray Mathias, he missed three months from late December 2003 to March 2004, due to a knee injury that required surgery. In the 2003–04 season, after he played just two games from the start of season, he left for Port Vale on loan in December 2004. Vale attempted to sign him permanently, but instead he returned to Holland to sign for RBC Roosendaal of the Eredivisie in January 2005.
At the end of 2004–05, his club were in the relegation play-offs, but managed to stay in the top-fight after winning the play-offs. However a last place finish in 2005–06 ensured their relegation to the Eerste Divisie. The next season he made 34 appearances and helped Roosendaal back to the top-flight as Eerste Divisie champions.
In the summer of 2007 he joined NAC Breda on a free transfer. He made fourteen appearances in 2007–08, as Breda finished third to qualify for the UEFA Intertoto Cup. He made 26 appearances in 2008–09, helping the club to once again qualify for Europe. He played just nine games in 2009–10, as Breda finished in mid-table. Following ten appearances in 2010–11, he joined league rivals De Graafschap in January 2011, making a further seven appearances for his new club before the end of the campaign.
