After a brief spell in the Italian Volleyball League, he moved to Sporting de Espinho, taking part in the conquest of four national titles and one cup. In 2009, he signed with Vitória de Guimarães,[3] but stayed just one year, as he joined Benfica, helping the Eagles win an historic three-peat, plus two cups.[4]
