He made his debut in the Third Division on 11 March 1988 in a 2–2 draw at home to Chester City. He was ever-present in the League in the 1989–90 season, [1] before moving on to Scunthorpe United in March 1992, initially on loan. [3] He was first-choice goalkeeper for that club for four-and-a-half seasons, and was voted Player of the Season for 1994–95. [4] He spent time at York City and Darlington, and had an unsuccessful trial back at Doncaster, before moving into non-League football with Matlock Town and Frickley Athletic. [1] [2]
