Club career

edit

In 2022 he joined the team Negeri Sembilan FC on a free transfer. Has been with the team for one year and has become a key player throughout 2022. He has helped the team secure fourth place in the Malaysia Super League in 2022. It is an impressive achievement as the team has just been promoted from the Malaysia Premier League in the previous year and had shocked the other Malaysia Super League teams because Negeri Sembilan FC was considered an underdog team. He has made 20 appearances and scored 6 goals during his time with Negeri Sembilan FC.

In March 2023, he returned to Finland to rejoin Lahti.[2]
