He played 19 Second Division matches for Vale, scoring once in a 2–1 defeat to Small Heath at Muntz Street.
He signed for Stoke in May 1900 and spent his first two seasons at the Victoria Ground in the reserves before becoming a regular in the 1902–03 season, where he scored nine goals. He scored the same amount in the 1903–04 campaign, and hit a hat-trick in a 3–2 Boxing day win over Bolton Wanderers at Burnden Park.
