He played 28 games in two seasons before signing for AC Ajaccio for whom he played 73 times, scoring four goals until signing for Kayseri Erciyesspor for the 2005–06 season. He played only eight times for the Turkish side, moving to Le Havre AC in January 2006, playing 11 times during his 12-month stay before being released on a free transfer to Sheffield United.
