He then had match figures of 7 for 70 which wrapped up victory for Notts at Swansea in 1968, following Garry Sobers 6 sixes off a Malcolm Nash over on day one.In that final season with Nottinghamshire he played in a Gillette Cup match against Hampshire at Trent Bridge, taking 2–39 in 12 overs and top-scoring with 58, and when they learned of his release, Hampshire signed him.
His bowling figures were even better in 1974 when they were foiled by the weather in the search for a second successive Championship, and through the 1970s he proved himself one of the best of Hampshire's signings from another county.
He retired at the end of the 1980 season and became Hampshire's Assistant Secretary and then Marketing Manager, not least during the demanding 1990s in the move to the Rose Bowl.
Across 11 English Winters from 1966-1979 (two in the UK), he coached three seasons for the Transvaal Cricket Union ( now Gauteng ) and eight for Jeppe High Schools for Boys, both based in Johannesburg.
Both these clubs were situated in what was the Northern Transvaal and he played one match for NT in the List A Datsun Shield v Rhodesia.
