In February 2020, he took part in the 2020 Dutch Open, where he advanced to the ninth round and finally lost to Brian Raman by 1–4 in legs.

Two weeks later, he took part in the 2022 Dutch Open, where he again advanced to the final stage of the tournament. On his way to the eighth round, he defeated Francesco Raschini and Jordan Brooks. He lost to Thibault Tricole by 1–4 in legs.[2] In December, he made his World Masters debut.[3] In the group-stage phase he finished second, which allowed him to advance to the next round, but in the next match he lost to Luke Littler by 0–5 in legs. A day later, he won a qualification for the 2023 WDF World Darts Championship.[4]
