However he struggled in his remaining years and left the club
He moved to Halifax Town in 2006 although his season was interrupted by a serious knee injury. He made a good start to the following season by netting a brace against Altrincham in the second game of this season and then a hat-trick against Droylsden later in the month.
He left Halifax after the club folded at the end of the 2007-2008 season.
In July 2008, he joined Farsley Celtic on trial. After scoring some good goals in pre-season, he was signed on a permanent deal. Six months later, he left Farsley to join another West Yorkshire side Bradford Park Avenue.
