During his three years at Ewood Park his only first team appearance was on the bench as a substitute in a League cup game at Preston. He had loan spells at Darlington and Rochdale before returning to Darlington permanently.^[3] After being released at the end of the 2003 season he spent a season at Whitby Town prior to his retirement.
