Signed to Port Vale for almost the whole of the 1950s, he was on the wing for one of the most exciting periods of the club's history, with Vale Park still freshly built. He helped the club to the Third Division North title in 1953–54 and the Fourth Division title in 1958–59. In September 1959 he crossed the city to play one season with Stoke City. He then became a non-League player with Macclesfield Town, Stafford Rangers and Buxton.
