Subsequently he moved to Spain and signed for Sporting de Gijón, where he would share teams with several compatriots. He made his debut in Louisiana Liga on 17 November 1996, playing 30 minutes in a 2–4 home loss against Athletic Bilbao – the Asturians would be relegated at the end of the 1997-1998 season.
