After making his debut in a 3-3 draw at Hereford on 9.8.69 - the opening day of the season - he initially struggled to win a regular first team place due to the form of Dai Yorath and Ray Flannigan in the full-back positions but really established himself after Christmas 1969.

In total he made 41 appearances and scored once, with a header in a 4-0 win at Ashford on 23.2.70, before being released at the end of the 1969/70 season.
