He spent two years at Ninian Park, largely as cover for Tom Farquharson, making eleven league appearances before leaving the club at the end of the 1933–34 season, joining Bristol Rovers.[3]

He joined Millwall in 1935, making six league appearances, before finishing his professional career with Bristol City without breaking into the first team.[3]
