He won the Dutch Talent of the Year award in 2000 while playing for PSV Eindhoven and won 3 league titles and 2 Supercups with the club, as well as appearing in the UEFA Champions League. He had moved to PSV from FC Twente, where he had been the club's leading goalscorer in the 1995/96 season.

After six seasons in Eindhoven, he moved to Spanish club RCD Mallorca in 2003, where he played in the UEFA Cup but he moved back to his homeland after just one season.
