After becoming the top scorer of the Vysschaya Hockey League in 2016, Metallurg Novokuznetsk signed him from the Continental Hockey League. After just six games, he left the team from southern Siberia and returned to Donetsk, where he won another Ukrainian championship title with HK Donbass in 2017. He then moved to Dunaújvárosi Acélbikák in the MOL league , but left the club again after four games and joined the HK Arlan Kökschetau from the Kazakh league .
