In January 1928 he was picked to play for the Birmingham Combination in the annual inter league match against the London League.
He played in the final of the Worcestershire Senior Cup, against Worcester City, where Rovers lost 3-2.

In the 1930/31 and 1931/32 seasons he played for Old Hill based works side Burton Delingpole. He scored a hat-trick for them against Rovers Reserves in A Worcester League match in the 1930/31 campaign.
