In 2008, he moved to Ikaros-Esperos Kallitheas, where he helped the team gain a promotion from the Greek B League to the Greek A2 League, and finally a promotion to the Greek Basket League (A1), where he scored 120 total points over two seasons. In 2012, he moved to the Greek club AEK Athens, helping the team gain a promotion from the Greek B League to the Greek A2 League, and also finally AEK's return to the Greek Basket League. During his tenure with AEK, he was the team's captain.

After his release from AEK Athens, he signed a two-year contract with Peristeri. With Peristeri, he also won a league promotion with the club to move back to the Greek Basket League.
