On 1 February 2015, he joined to Esteghlal on a two-and-a-half-year contract.[2]
His good performances in the 2014–15 season drew the attention of La Liga club Getafe CF who were interested to sign him.[3]
In June 2017, he left the club after his contract ran out.[4] However, with the appointment of Winfried Schäfer as the new Esteghlal manager, he signed a new two-and-a-half-year contract with the club on 5 November 2017, allowing him to play from January 2018.[5]
