He scored 11 goals in 33 appearances over two seasons for Burnley before joining West Ham United of the Southern League First Division. He made his debut in a 0–2 loss to rivals Millwall on 26 October 1901, and saw defeat in his next two appearances, against Reading and Southampton, playing different positions in each of the three games.
