His first Süper Lig match followed on November 23 of the same year, a 2-0 loss to Beşiktaş in which he was booked.

In July 2019 he moved to Kayserispor, signing at the same time as Ziya Alkurt, and in September 2020 he was loaned to Ankara Keçiörengücü until the end of the season. At the start of July 2025 it was announced that he had agreed terms with Muşspor, a signing the club presented as experienced reinforcement for its defense. He also has an official website under his own name.
