He made six Division 1 North appearances (one as sub) for Arlesey before rejoining his first club Dulwich in December 2002.
Mark made a handful of appearances for Hamlet during the remainder of 2002/03 and scored in a 3-2 home win over Leatherhead on 21.12.02. He stayed with Dulwich for the start of the 2003/04 season but after making just three appearances Mark moved on to Carshalton of the Premier Division in November 2003.
He played eight times for the Robins in all competitions before leaving the club in February 2004 to work in the USA.

In August 2005 he had a trial with Barnet and played for their reserves before being released.
In March 2006 Mark signed for Danish 3rd Division outfit Skjold Birkerod and he went on to score four goals from 27 league appearances for them before leaving the club at the end of the 2006/07 campaign.

Early in January 2009 Mark joined Leatherhead but didn't play for the Isthmian League Division 1 South club's first team before linking up with Margate towards the end of the month.
He made his debut as a substitute in a 1-0 defeat at Tonbridge in the Isthmian League Premier Division on 31.1.09 and Mark then featured as a sub in Margate's next four games too. He also fitted in an appearance for Sussex County League Division 1 club Redhill early in February 2009.
In its report on a 1-1 draw at Hastings on 14.2.09 the Thanet Times said Mark "caused Hastings problems with his heading ability, despite not being the biggest bloke in the world" after coming on as sub and he made his last appearance from the bench in a 2-0 defeat at Wealdstone on 28.2.09. He was released shortly afterwards and joined Redhill on a permanent basis.
Mark stayed at Redhill for the start of the 2009/10 campaign and made nine appearances for them during the early part of the season before moving on to Crawley Down, also of the Sussex County League Division 1, towards the end of 2009.
