He helped Basil Hayward's "Glovers" to win the league title in 1963–64. He left Huish Park for Bedford Town, though left the "Eagles" after they were relegated out of the Premier Division of the Southern League in 1966–67. He returned to the Football League Third Division for a short stint with Gillingham, where he rejoined manager Basil Hayward, in 1967.[2] His stay at the Priestfield Stadium was short, and he featured in just nine league games for the "Gills". He later played for Almer Hall's Margate back in the Southern League.[3]
