First came to prominence in the Workington academy team of 1995. When as a long striding prop forward he scored tries almost at will, finishing that season as the Town academy top try scorer. Twice notching four tries in a game via bullocking runs.

He has had varied fortunes in his professional career, since showing that early promise, and left Town to play R.U. for Netherhall in a bid to regain confidence. On his return in Towns colours the previous season he sadly suffered a serious ankle injury early on, a knock which caused him to miss the remainder of the season.

Now fully fit he will be looking to capitalise on that early potential.
