In the 2012 season, he scored once in nine games as UCD finished eighth in the league.

He made the bench for the senior side twice during Harps’ 2011 First Division campaign and was part of Peter Hutton’s first team squad in 2012.
He made his league debut for the club on 31 March 2012, coming on as a 25th minute sub for the injured Ciaran Gallagher, and he started the following game against SD Galway.
