Before the start of the 1979 season, he moved to 1st Division rivals Vejle Boldklub, where he got his national breakthrough. He scored 18 goals in 26 league games, before moving abroad to play professionally for Belgian club RSC Anderlecht in 1979. He stayed five years at Anderlecht, with whom he won the 1983 UEFA Cup, scoring the only goal in the final.

He moved to Dutch team PSV Eindhoven in 1984 and on to Olympique Marseille in France in 1985. In 1986, he moved back to Belgium to play for Club Brugge.
