On 14 July 2014, he left Benevento after four seasons to join Serie B club Cittadella.[9]

In the summer 2015 it was purchased by A.C. Rimini Calcio 1912 militant in Lega Pro.

In the season 2016–17, after the failure of A.C. Rimini 1912, he signed a contract with Unicusano Fondi Calcio.

In June 2017 he was bought by Serie B side Ternana Calcio.
