He started his career in Guyana and playing for Alpha United, Pele and Netrockers. He was voted Guyana player of the year in 1998. Later he moved to Trinidad & Tobago where he proceeded to spend almost all of his career playing professional football for clubs including Docs Kewalas, W Connection, San Juan Jabloteh and two spells with North East Stars, where he became team captain, leading them to championship in 2004.
After a spell in the US playing for United Soccer League side Brooklyn Knights, he returned to Trinidad to play for Caledonia AIA. He joined Joe Public in January 2010[2] but after just two starts he left the club in April 2010[3] citing the need to get more regular football in his final season before retirement. Later the same month he rejoined former club North East Stars for the 2010–11 season.[4]
