Career[edit]

On 1 January 2010, he was loaned to TSV 1860 Munich[4] and he transferred eventually to 1860 Munich in summer 2010.[5]
After playing the first half of the 2015–16 season in the Serbian SuperLiga with FK Spartak Subotica, in the winter-break he returned to Germany, this time by signing with Chemnitzer FC.[5]
