He signed for Tiverton soon after leaving City and in four seasons at Tiverton, from 1985/86 to 1989/90 he scored 135 goals, including six goals against Odd Down in 1988, he also holds the club record for the most league goals in a season, scoring 41 times in the 1988/89 campaign.

He returned to Elmore where he scored 70 goals in 97 apperances, and later played for Cullompton Rangers.

Mark became one of the most prolific goalscoring forwards in non-league football in the late 1980's and early 1990's.

"Started as a keeper at Tiverton Heathcoats in the Sunday league ! A pleasure to have managed him in those early days and then have him at Elmore with Kenny Freeman . Amazing player who undoubtedly was football league standard."

"I’ve never seen a man ride tackles like him and put so many keepers on their a..., one on one and walk in the net.  He was a top player and bloke.  Loved his cider too!"
