After starting his football career in the youth teams of Pro Sesto and his first games with the amateur club Carugatese, in 1987 he moved to Germany for family reasons.

Here he started playing with TSV Havelse and in 1989 signed with Arminia Bielefeld. Back at Havelse in 1990 in the German second tier, he scored 14 league goals in 35 appearances attracting Lazio's attention.

He signed for the good side of the Tiber in the summer of 1991 but was limited to play only in friendlies until November due to a complaint made by 1860 Munich with whom he had also signed before coming to Rome. He had told the German club that he had to go to Italy to look after his mother and sister. 1860 Munich raised a complaint with FIFA and Lazio were forced to pay the German club a fee.

At Lazio he was supposed to be third forward but rarely played, just three appearances. He just was not Serie A material. In 1992 he signed for Bari who had just been relegated from Serie A. He played more, 27 appearances and 4 goals in two seasons, but his stay in Apulia was a failure. In the summer of 1994 he signed for Avellino but in the winter,  he left for Chieti in Serie C1 where he stayed until 1996. His last two seasons were played at Latina and Rondinella.

When he stopped playing he became an entrepreneur
