IF Brommapojkarna

He returned to Denmark in 2015 but after a few months at BK Marienlyst where he did not feature, in August 2015 he moved on a free transfer to IF Brommapojkarna to play in the Superettan. He played in 9 league matches in a year that Brommapojkarna were relegated to Division 1. He played in one Svenska Cupen match in a 3-0 away win against IF Sylvia.[12]
