He made his senior debut for Hapoel Petah Tikva in 1964, at age 17. In 1966 he joined the Israel youth team, which won the Asian championship held in Thailand and the Philippines. Coach Milovan Ćirić then added him to the senior national squad, and he made 18 appearances, including the 1968 Olympics in Mexico and the 1968 AFC Asian Cup.

In 1970 coach Emmanuel Scheffer removed him from the national team over a discipline issue. He later moved to Shimshon Tel Aviv for 3 years, then played 5 years for Maccabi Petah Tikva. He was wounded in the Yom Kippur War, and finished his career at Hapoel Kfar Saba and Hapoel Hadera.
