He started at Eldoret-based Eldonets in 2016 and has gone on to win the Danish Premier League (Basketligaen) for three consecutive seasons.
He also won the Danish Cup with the same side in 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 where, on both occasions, the Bears mauled Horsens in the final.

He donned the Scandone Avellino in Italian Serie “A”, Solna Vikings in Sweden Division II, Taranaki in New Zealand, Swedish side Sodertalje Kings in Europe Cup and Swiss outfit Massagno before joining Bakken Bears.
