He re-signed with Scarborough for the 2018 season.[11][12][13] He assisted the club in securing a postseason berth and played in the semifinal match against Ukraine United where Scarborough advanced to the championship final.[14] In the championship final, Vorkuta defeated Scarborough in a penalty shootout.[15] In 2019, he returned to play with Scarborough for his third season.[16] The club secured a playoff berth throughout the season by finishing second in the First Division.[17] For the third consecutive season, the eastern-based Toronto side reached the final and successfully defeated Ukraine United to secure the championship.[18][19]
He extended his contract with Scarborough in 2020 for his fourth and final season.[20] He helped the club claim the First Division title in his final season with Scarborough.[21][22] Scarborough would also for the fourth consecutive season reach the championship final but failed to defend their title against Vorkuta.[23]
In 2021, he signed with league rivals Serbian White Eagles.[24] His season was cut short after sustaining a serious injury in the opening round match against Vorkuta in the ProSound Cup tournament.[25][26] He re-signed with the Serbs for the 2022 season.[27] The Serbs would secure the regular season title.[28]

He was named to a 35-man provisional roster in 2018 organized by head coach John Keister in preparation for the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualification.[34] In 2019, he received another call-up to the national team to serve as a backup against Benin and Lesotho for the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualification.[35][36][37]
