On 3 September 2013, after making no senior appearances for the side, he moved to Hungarian Nemzeti Bajnokság I club Újpest FC.[4] He made his professional debut on 1 March 2014, starting in a 3–2 away loss against Budapest Honvéd FC. He finished the campaign with 12 appearances, as his side narrowly avoided relegation.
