He had played for City's reserves before the war ahead of signing for Clapton Orient. 

He had played for Exeter City reserves before signing for Clapton Orient for the 1938/39 season. Having guested for several clubs in the London area he appeared for the Grecians against Plymouth Argyle in April 1945.
