He began his career with Banbridge Town and moved into senior football with Bangor in 1958 before moving to Cliftonville the following season where he was to win two amateur international caps in 1963.
Jim then moved to Exeter City but played just once for the Grecians, around the time the club was winning promotion from the Fourth Division, in a 3-1 home win over Newport County in April 1964. Having acted as cover for Alan Barnett, Jim was released at the end of the season and signed for Taunton Town ahead of returning to Northern Ireland.
