In 2009, he returned to play with Trois-Rivières Sélect and received the golden boat award as the top goal scorer in the LSEQ.[16] In 2012, he played in the Première Ligue de soccer du Québec (PLSQ) with FC L'Assomption-Lanaudière where he recorded the first goal in the history of the PLSQ.[17][18]
