Career
He left in the summer of 2008, signing a three-and-one-half-year contract with Swedish club Hammarby IF. He scored his first goal for the club in the Swedish Cup quarterfinal against Valsta Syrianska IK. Despite a successful first season, he failed to impress during the two following seasons and, when Hammarby was relegated at the end of the 2009 season, he moved on loan to his former team Football Club from 1 January 2010 to 30 June 2010 with a buy-out clause.
