He joined Feyenoord's youth academy from Excelsior '20 at the age of 10 years-old. [3] On 19 November 2020, he signed his first professional contract with Feyenoord, keeping him at the club until the summer of 2021.

[8] He scored his first professional goal for PEC Zwolle in a 3-2 away win in the Eerste Divisie against Helmond Sport on 19 May 2023, with his goal coming in injury time as his club came from 2-1 down to win, with his goal proving to be the winner. [9] He made eleven appearances for the club in the 2022-23 season as the club secured promotion to the Eredivisie, with the injury time winner over Helmond proving to be fii final appearance for the club.
