Career

He left Bloomfield Road and joined Port Vale, initially on trial, in August 1978.[2] He impressed enough to be offered a contract. He was a regular first-team player from February to April 1979, scoring two goals in 18 Fourth Division appearances in the 1978–79 season.[2] However, he was sacked by "Valiants" manager Dennis Butler in August 1979 after failing to report to Vale Park for the 1979–80 season.[2] He had already joined Winsford United and later played for Ashton United and Kidderminster Harriers (Southern League).[2]
