He made his debut at outside-right in a 2–1 defeat to Notts County at Meadow Lane on 13 November, but broke a toe at his work the following week. He recovered by January the next year, but after failing to nail down a regular spot, was released by manager Gordon Hodgson at the end of the 1948–49 season.
