He was Southport first close season signing (on a 2 month trial) in the 1949-50 season. His only appearance with Southport coincided with the ‘Ports first League victory of the season at the eighth attempt. The game was unusual in that the Hartlepool players did all the scoring – both Southport’s goals being own goals. He was not retained after the expiry of his trial period owing to a  thigh injury, though he continued to play Scottish Junior football for a number of years.  He later coached youth teams in Paisley and still lives in nearby Renfrew.
