Unable to break into the Wolves first team, the former English youth international joined Swindon Town in March 1974 for a club record fee of £88,000 – after a successful loan spell which saw him average a goal every other game, including a brace on his debut.
The striker was signed by Queens Park Rangers in March 1976 for £100,000 (with Don Rogers returning to Swindon as part of the deal).
He was transferred to Everton in March 1979 – shortly before Rangers dropped out of Division One – in a straight swap for Mickey Walsh.
Following this campaign, he was out of the club's plans and spent periods on loan at Leicester City, Huddersfield Town, Walsall and Wolverhampton Wanderers, respectively.
During the twilight of his career he played in the Portuguese league at Farense and Louletano,[1] and returned to England with non-league Atherstone United.
