He made his senior league debut in October 2008 and became Beitar's first goalkeeper in the 2009/2010 season, later serving as captain. He won the State Cup and the Toto Cup with the club.

He debuted for the national team in 2012 and was suspended in 2017 with Tomer Hemed after criticizing the coaching staff. He joined MS Ashdod in 2023 and retired in April 2026. He is married and has a daughter.
