He was handed his professional debut in October 1993 when he played in a 5–0 defeat to York City and featured a number of times throughout the remainder of the 1993–94 season but in the following years he found first team opportunities hard to come by.
At the end of the 1996–97 season he was handed a chance in the first team following an injury to Tony Elliott and helped Cardiff reach the play-offs before suffering defeat to Northampton Town.
He moved to Shelbourne for the onset of the 1999–2000 and was a major player in their double success that season, having kept seventeen clean sheets.
Possibly his greatest hour came when he kept a clean sheet as Shels beat Hajduk Split 2–0 in a Champions League qualifier in 2004.
Some of these include denying Bohemians an equaliser in Dalymount Park with an unbelievable save to guarantee Shels title victory.
[3] In his second spell at Shelbourne he played as back-up keeper to Dean Delany but still made 3 league and cup appearances before his departure at the end of the season.
