In the summer of 1996 he joined Aris Petroupolis for another 2 seasons, playing in the fourth division. In 1999 he had a brief stint at Ethnikos Piraeus. In 2000 he was transferred to Aspropyrgos, that competed in the amateur championship of Piraeus, where he remained until 2005. Afterwards, he competed in Kipoupoli where he stopped playing football in 2007.[7]
