In his early adulthood, he played in lower amateur leagues in Quebec as well as playing futsal.[3] In his early twenties, he had trials with USL Championship clubs San Antonio FC and Reno 1868 FC, being offered a contract with the latter, but declined it due to the club's financial issues, and the uncertainty of whether he would be paid.[2] He later went to France to seek a club, but ultimately returned to Canada, where he was set to go on trial with Canadian Premier League club Cavalry FC in 2018, but suffered an injury prior to the trial and could not participate.[2]
