He was on the books of Clyde for several years[4] and won a Glasgow Cup with the club in 1914[5] but played on loan with various clubs including Celtic[1] and Hamilton Academical, where he then had a permanent (though still fairly brief) spell.
[3] In 1923 he was selected for the Home Scots v Anglo-Scots international trial match[7] alongside Plymouth teammate Fred Craig (with whom he had also played at Hamilton), though neither would gain a full cap.
He then spent a short period at Torquay United, then still a Southern League club, before joining Luton Town,[3] but is believed not to have played for either in competitive fixtures.
[2] He returned to Scotland for additional fleeting spells at Bathgate and East Stirlingshire.
