He was playing with Non-League Northwich Victoria when First Division Manchester City signed him. He made his debut for them in the 1913-1914 season and had made nine appearances by the end of the campaign, but became City’s regular Outside-Left in the following campaign, when he made twenty-one appearances and scored twice in League games. The War interrupted his City career and he played four consecutive games at Outside-Left as a guest for Leeds City in February 1919. After the War he failed to re-establish himself and scored just one goal in eight appearances in the first two seasons after Football League games had recommenced. He joined Second Division Crystal Palace in 1921 and scored four goals in nineteen League appearances in his two years with them, before going into Non-League football with Llanelli.
