After leaving Shrewsbury he played for Derby County and Bristol Rovers.[citation needed] Following the departure of Malcolm Allison as Bristol Rovers manager, Cross was appointed caretaker manager for three games, until the appointment of John Ward.[citation needed] Following this, Cross dropped down to play in non-league football for Mangotsfield United and Bath City.[citation needed]

Post retirement

After retiring from Football, Cross briefly worked for the Royal Mail before he went on to develop a career in media, and after several guest appearances as co-commentator on BBC Radio Shropshire for Shrewsbury Town games, Cross took on the role for every game, entertaining listeners with his over-exuberant style of co-commentary.[citation needed]
