He was brought to the Umeå-based club Tegs SK for the 1987 season in Sweden.[4] His goalscoring ability earned him a contract with Djurgårdens IF – where he stayed for two seasons which included a loan spell in Scotland with St. Mirren.[5] In 1990 he returned to Umeå to help local club Umeå FC rise in the Swedish football league.[6]
