He played for Brisbane Strikers[1][2] in the National Soccer League, scoring 12 goals in 21 games.

That attracted the interest of Fortuna Dusseldorf[3] and signed for the then-Oberliga Nordrhein club from the Strikers. He failed to make an impact in Germany, despite coach Massimo Morales's hopes for his "killer instinct" in front of goal.[4]

He then joined English side and Yeovil Town in League Two, but failed to make an appearance.
