He lost his place to his former Mosborough teammate Freddie Green after playing the next game, a 1-0 defeat away to Aldershot, but after missing just one game re-emerged as a left-back, replacing Ernie Stokes. He finished his first season as a professional having made 11 league appearances and began the following season as the regular left-back.
However, after playing the first 13 league games, he lost his place and was to only make a further 3 first-team appearances that season.
