During his inaugural season of 2021/2022, he made a total of five appearances within the confines of the Premier League. His next season (2022/2023) saw a slight reduction in appearances, clocking in a total of three showings.
A loan move to Charleston Battery in the USL in the USA marked his journey in March 2023, however, his return to Scotland's Aberdeen was imminent and he found himself back in the Scottish Premier League by July of the same year.
