Career

An inside forward, he began his career with Blantyre Victoria, and also played for English Southern League club Kettering Town, for whom he scored five times from 21 appearances in all competitions. Dunfermline teammate Willie McSeveney described him as "one of the cleverest football players that I have ever seen in my life. He was the guy who invented dummies, he let the ball go through his legs, things like that.".
