His relentless work ethic and sharp finishing had seen him represent the likes of Black Leopards, Golden Arrows, Mamelodi Sundowns, and Chippa United – just to name a few.
Although his time at Sundowns was challenging due to limited game time, he remained focused and later revived his career with Polokwane City and Highlands Park.
One of the former marksman's most remarkable achievements came in the 2017/18 PSL season, when he finished as the league's joint top scorer while playing for Polokwane City. His performances earned him widespread recognition as a hardworking forward with a knack for scoring crucial goals.
