His 2018-19 campaign was his first in European club competitions. He helped the Patras team progress to the Basketball Champions League Playoffs averaging 5.6 points, 4.4 rebounds and 1.3 assists per match.
He marked his fifth Basket League campaign with 5.1 points, 3.9 rebounds and 1.3 assists per contest, before adding 6.6 points, 3.9 rebounds and 1 assist per game in his team run to the Playoffs finals.
