A year later he was at Konyaspor itself, and he spent the first half of both the 2018/19 and 2019/20 seasons on loan at Altınordu, making 11 appearances each time.

İstanbulspor was where his career took hold. He arrived in August 2020 and became a key player in the side that won promotion to the Süper Lig in 2021–22. He made 142 appearances and scored six goals before leaving in January 2025 for Iğdır, where he played 25 matches.
