He signed for Leeds in October 1937. He was released by United just before World War Two, when they had a surplus of good defenders, following the return of Wilf Copping, and with Bobby Browne and Fred Mills already in contention for the left half spot. Reading showed interest in him but he signed for Southern League Chelmsford City in June 1939.
