He made two further first-class appearances for Sussex, against the Marylebone Cricket Club at Lord's Cricket Ground in 1867 and Kent at the same venue in 1873.[1] In his four first-class matches for the county, he scored 66 runs at an average of 13.20, with a high score of 32.[2] In 1874, he made his first-class debut for the Marylebone Cricket Club against Nottinghamshire, with him playing a further first-class match for the club against Surrey in 1876.[1] He played one first-class match for England against a combined Kent and Gloucestershire side at the St Lawrence Ground, Canterbury.[1]
