Career
By 1945 he was being used as a half back flanker and was one of just three Collinwood players to play all 22 games that year, including their 10 point preliminary final loss to Carlton. He also played finals football for Collingwood in 1946 and 1948. At the start of the 1950 football season he joined Camberwell briefly, but was unable to get a clearance and returned to Collingwood.
He was then, on 25 May, reported to be in transfer talks with the Hawthorn Football Club.
Just four days after this was reported he broke his leg in a seconds match against Richmond.
