Playing career

Hednesford Town

Forest Green Rovers

He joined Forest Green Rovers in May 2010 on a one-year deal.[2] [3] However he suffered an ankle injury in September 2010 that ruled him out temporarily.[4] He scored five goals in 32 games in the 2010–11 season for Forest Green.

He was limited to one appearance in the 2012–13 campaign after picking up a cruciate knee ligament injury,[6] as the "Stags" won promotion to the Football League as champions of the Conference Premier. He made his Football League debut on 3 August 2013, starting in a 2–0 defeat to Scunthorpe United.[7]

Hereford United (loan)

On 11 October 2013, he joined Hereford United on a one-month loan deal.[8] After three seasons with Mansfield he was released at the end of the 2013–14 season.[9]
