After one season with Jong Feyenoord, his contract expired in 2019, and he left on a free transfer to SSV Jeddeloh in Germany, competing in Regionalliga Nord.{{cite news |last1=Blazer |first1=Stan |title=Interview: Drie voetballers met één doel naar SSV Jeddeloh (Duitsland) |url=https://www.sportsinspirator.nl/site/drie-voetballers-met-een-doel-naar-duitsland |access-date=23 March 2024 |work=Sportinspirator |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240323105129/https://www.sportsinspirator.nl/site/drie-voetballers-met-een-doel-naar-duitsland |archive-date=23 March 2024 |language=nl-NL}} He made his debut for Jeddeloh on 21 July 2019, in a 1–1 draw at home against VfB Oldenburg in the Lower Saxony Cup.
