Born in Trier, West Germany, he was already playing in Serbia with FK Timok Zaječar before his transfer to FK Borac Čačak in 1993. In his first season with Borac, they became champions of the 1993–94 Second League of FR Yugoslavia and got promotion to the First League of FR Yugoslavia where he played the following two seasons making 54 appearances and scoring 3 goals in the Yugoslav top-tier.[1]

After 3 years with Borac, in summer 1996 he transferred to Belgium to K.A.A. Gent and played with them the following 7 seasons in the Belgian Pro League.[2]

In 2003, he transferred to Shanghai Shenhua and won the Chinese Jia-A League 2003. However, Shanghai Shenhua were stripped of the title on 19 February 2013 for the match-fixing scandal in that season.[3]
