After four seasons in Spain, he moved back to Belgium to play for Gantoise.[4] In April 2013, his contract at Gantoise was terminated early because he participated in the FIH Pro League for his national team and he couldn't return in time to play enough matches at the end of the Belgian Hockey League season.[5] In April 2021 he signed for two years for Dutch Hoofdklasse club Tilburg.[6] He scored 14 goals in his first season in Tilburg. Even though he had signed for two season he only stayed for one year because Tilburg were relegated from the Hoofdklasse.[7] He joined German Bundesliga club TSV Mannheim in June 2022.[8]
