In October 2015 he was promoted to the first team squad and signed a two year contract to keep him at the club until the end of the 2017 season.He has not yet made his debut in the MFF first team, but made the senior matchday squad for the first time on 28 May 2016 as an unused substitute in Malmö’s win over Östersunds FK and it seems to be only a matter of time before he gets his chance.
