He signed for Second Division Barnsley in August 1911 and made his Barnsley debut against Bradford Park Avenue in February 1912, his only appearance that season for the team that would go on to win the FA Cup a couple of months later.

After the resumption of peacetime football he joined North Eastern League Darlington in 1919, and a year later joined Bristol Rovers, playing 21 games in their inaugural Football League season. His second and final season at Eastville saw him feature on only 8 more occasions, and after a season at Newport County in 1922-23 when once again he couldn’t make their first eleven, he went non league with Bristol Aeroplane Company in 1923.
