Club career

In 2009, he made his senior debut for Alemannia Aachen II.[citation needed]

In 2010, he joined Schalke 04 II in the fourth tier Regionalliga West. He spent two seasons with the club.[2]

In 2012, he moved to Rot-Weiss Essen, where he played two seasons.[3] On 14 March 2014 he scored two goals against SSVg Velbert 02.[4] In May 2014, he departed the club.[5]

In 2014, he joined Sportfreunde Lotte.[6]

In August 2015, he joined TSV Steinbach in the Regionalliga Südwest.[7]

In January 2016 Sportfreunde Lotte.[8] On 22 March 2017, he tore a ligament, causing him to miss several months of action.[9] In September 2017, he re-tore the ligament after returning to training two weeks earlier,[10] however, he would not require surgery.[11]

He then joined Preußen Münster in the summer of 2018.[1][12] He signed a contract until June 2020.[13]

He returned to the fourth tier in the summer of 2020 with Wuppertaler SV.[14] He made his debut in an exhibition match against fifth tier Oberliga side SSVg Velbert 02.[15] He serves as team captain.[16] His contract was set to expire at the end of June 2022,[17] but he extended it for another season.[18]

In January 2024, he joined SC Fortuna Köln in the same division.[19]

In June 2024, he signed with newly promoted club Eintracht Hohkeppel in the Regionalliga West.[20][21] In early October 2024, he departed the club, as the club parted ways with six players following the club's poor performance in the early part of the season.[22]
