A utility player, he joined the club from Lockheed Leamington in December 1947 and made his First Division debut on 22 October 1949 in a goalless draw away at Everton. He made two more league appearances for Birmingham City before moving on to non-league football with Rugby Town, Evesham United, and Boldmere St. Michaels. He also worked in the offices at St Andrew's, which places him around the club beyond his time on the pitch.
