He spent twelve seasons with the Perth side (they were relegated from the top division in 1929–30 but were promoted again in 1931–32), with short loans to Alloa Athletic and King's Park, featuring solely in the Scottish Cup. He was eventually made Saints club captain, and was granted a testimonial against Manchester City in 1935.[4] Two years later he moved on to Dunfermline Athletic for a single season, followed by a similar spell with King's Park before the outbreak of World War II brought his professional career to an end.[1]
