He joined Dundee permanently on 18 July 2004, signing a one-year contract, after having his contract at Portsmouth cancelled.[22] He scored his first goal of 2004–05 on 18 December 2004 with a 57th-minute goal against Aberdeen that was set up by Fabián Caballero, which earned his team a 1–0 victory.[23][24] He finished the season with 32 appearances and two goals while Dundee were relegated to the Scottish First Division,[23] and was released by the club in May 2001.[25]
