In July 2022, he signed with San Fernando CD in the third tier Primera Federación.[17][18] On June 14, 2023, he terminated his contract with the club by mutual consent.[19][20] In May, he tied a league record by scoring in five consecutive matches, and earned the league's Player of the Month honour for May.[21][22]

In late June 2023, he signed with Atlético Ottawa of the Canadian Premier League through the end of the 2024 season.[23][24] He scored his first goal for the club on 27 April 2024, in a victory over the HFX Wanderers.[25] In the 2024 season, he scored goals in five consecutive matches from the third to seventh matchdays.[26]
