His first two international goals helped Luxembourg defeat Slovakia by a score of 2–1 on 9 February 2011. He scored his second international goal on 7 September 2012 in a World Cup qualifier against Portugal in a 2–1 defeat. On 2 June 2021, he played his 100th match for Luxembourg in a friendly match against Norway.[5]
