He began his career at Mengo Children Foundation Academy in 2008 before he was transferred to Black Stars Namasuba in 2013.

In the football competitions for schools, the goalkeeper featured for St. Juliana High School Gayaza and Buddo S.S – playing in the FEASSA Games 2018 – Rwanda with the latter.

His eye-catching performances in the championship caught the keen eye of Tooro United who signed him up that same year. He has been at Maroons since 2021.
