[1] He joined Queens Park Rangers of the Third Division South in August 1921 on a free transfer, and made his debut in November against his former club, taking over the left-half position from Albert Read.
The Derby Daily Telegraph wrote that playing three matches in four days over the Christmas period had no ill effects, and commented that he was doing well at left half despite being better suited to the centre-half position.
He occupied the right-half position during the first half of the season, but lost his place to new arrival Joe Robson and rarely regained it.
At the end of the campaign, he moved on to Scunthorpe & Lindsey United of the Midland League, where he spent two years before returning to Durham City in 1926.
As backup to John Gurkin at centre half, he rarely appeared, and went back to non-league football with West Stanley and Jarrow.
