In April 2014, he joined the academy of Feyenoord.[2] In June 2015, he was promoted to the senior team and was issued the 25 number jersey.[3] He made his debut in a pre-season friendly game against Heerenveen, but was suffered a hamstring injury in the first half and was ruled out of play for almost the entire season.
