After an impressive season in
Klaipėda, he was signed by
Lietuvos rytas in 2007. He was initially expected to develop his game to higher level to become one of the better centers in
Lithuania, but failed to impress the head coach and was receiving only a few minutes per game. He improved his statistics in the 2008/2009 season, and became a more reliable bench player. In September 2009 he was signed by
Budivelnyk Kyiv. ==Personal life==
