Six years later, he entered the first team squad of the club. He played a total of 128 games for Lokeren. In the 2002–03 season, he played a fundamental role in the club's achievement of third place in the national championship, and was named Belgian Young Professional Footballer of the Year.[2] He stayed at Lokeren until 2004, when he moved to Gent. With Gent he reached the final of the 2007–08 Belgian Cup, also placing fourth in the national championship in 2006 and 2007. In 2009 he moved to Kortrijk, where he stayed until 2011.[3] Next, he joined Roda of the Eredivisie.[3] In his first season at Roda, he played 24 games and scored 4 goals.[4] In 2014, he moved to Beerschot Wilrijk, where, in 2017, he ended his professional career as a player.[5]
