He spent just one season at Valley Parade, but he finished as the club's joint top goal-scorer with seven league goals and four in the FA Cup, including a hat-trick in a 5–2 win over Oldham Athletic.[2] He joined Stockport County before he moved into non-league football with Cambridge City.[1] He was with Cambridge City from February 1964 to January 1965.
