A Scottish Junior International, he played for Dalry Thistle Juniors before joining Falkirk via Army football in 1955. He won a Scottish FA Cup winners’ medal in 1957, but when Falkirk were relegated in 1958-59 he joined Queen of the South. He scored thirteen goals in seventy-eight League games for the Bairns. While at Queen of the South he scored six times in nine League games. He left the Dumfries club for Leeds for a £3,000 fee in August 1960 but the nippy, box-of-tricks Scottish winger never really hit top form at Elland Road and Gerry Francis or Billy Bremner usually had the Right Wing spot. United sold him to Tranmere Rovers for £3,000 in March 1961. His time at Prenton Park was disrupted by injuries and he was restricted to ten League appearances and one goal. He left Tranmere at the end of the 1961-62 season and joined Queen of the South once more, scoring four goals in twelve appearances but left at the end of the 1962-63season.
