Two years later he moved to Belgium, to K.S.C. Lokeren OV, where he was recruited by R.S.C. Anderlecht scouts in 2002. Following his arrival at Anderlecht, he was in competition with Tristan Peersman, Zvonko Milojević, Željko Pavlović, Jan Van Steenberghe and Silvio Proto, but remained a first-team regular.
