He made two further first-class appearances for the county, in 1859 against a Middlesex side and in 1861 against Cambridgeshire. In first-class matches he scored a total of 17 runs, with the 12 he scored in his second innings on debut his highest score.[4] [5] He played in a Kent trial match in 1860 and in 1865 played for the Players of Kent against the Gentlemen of Kent in a match at the Bat and Ball Ground in Gravesend, scoring 23 runs and taking a wicket for his side.[1] [5]
