After beginning his career with West Ham United and Portsmouth,[2][3] he played for the Denver Dynamos in the North American Soccer League.[4] Following his time in the US, he returned to England and signed for non-league side Slough Town where he stayed for two years, making 43 appearances and scoring seven times.[5] He appeared in pre-season friendlies for Brentford, but failed to make a competitive appearance.[6] His playing career was cut short by injury.[7]
