After two matches, against Gloucestershire in 1936 and Nottinghamshire in 1938, in which he was given little opportunity to bowl, he did have his day in a remarkable final appearance against Leicestershire in 1939.
Despite a first-class bowling average of 5.40,[1] the onset of World War II ended any chance of him gaining further appearances.
He was less successful as a right-handed tail end batsman, scoring five runs in three innings, although two of these were not out.
[1] A useful opening batsman in League cricket, he never played again for Yorkshire, but he spent years as a professional with Clackmannan C.C., in Scotland, and was with David Brown Tractors C.C.
