Career

He made just one sub appearance in 1977–78 and didn't make on in 1978–79 instead he spent it playing in the United States for California Surf. He then spent the 1979–80 season on loan at Blackburn Rovers where he made four appearances. In 1980–81 he played in 13 matches under Alan Durban but failed to impress and was released at the end of the campaign.
