In his debut season with Waterloo, he assisted the club in securing a playoff berth by finishing fifth in the First Division.[6] As a result of qualifying for the postseason, he helped Waterloo win their first championship title by defeating Kingston FC in the CSL Championship final.[7] The following season he signed with league rivals Burlington SC.[8] In his final season in Canada, he signed with newly promoted side Milton SC for the 2015 season.[9][10]
