After not making a single first grade appearance in the 1992 season, Langford's final season in first grade came in the 1993 season, in which he made only two appearances. His final appearance in first grade came from the bench in his side's 36−4 loss to the St. George Dragons at Jubilee Oval in round 19 of the 1993 season. He was released by the Eels at season's end and subsequently retired from playing. He finished his career playing 40 games, and scoring one try.
