He was sold to Wolverhampton Wanderers for £70,000 in July 1969. He made his Wolves debut on 8 October 1969 in a 2–2 draw with Sheffield Wednesday. After playing infrequently during his debut season he was a first choice player over the following seasons, which saw him play in the 1972 UEFA Cup Final. After 156 appearances in total for Wolves, he returned to his native Sheffield in Summer 1973, joining Sheffield Wednesday. He played over 100 games for the Owls over the next three seasons before dropping into non-league football with Worksop Town before retiring.
