He played in 158 matches in the Football League for Fulham (169 in all competitions), scoring 21 goals, between 1925 and 1930.[3][2] He joined Coventry in summer 1930 for a fee of £500, and made nine appearances for the club.[4][2] He also played for Newarthill Thistle, Llanelly, and Walton-on-Thames.[5]
