In 2018, he played for Master's FA in League1 Ontario.[9] In 2019, he switched to play for the Oakville Blue Devils.[10] In 2021, he began the season with the Blue Devils for one match, before returning to Master's where he scored 11 regular season goals to be named East Division MVP and an East 1st team All-Star,[11] also scoring a brace in a penalty kick shootout loss in the playoff semi-finals to eventual champions, Guelph United.[12]

In 2022, he signed with the expansion side Simcoe County Rovers of League1 Ontario.[13]
