After a short spell at Willenhall, he joined Wolverhampton Wanderers in Summer 1921, making his club debut on 2 September 1922 in a 1–1 draw at Derby County. The team were relegated to the Third Division in his first season, but made an immediate return as champions.
The defender made 295 appearances for the club in total over 10 years, before retiring due to injury in 1932, shortly after the club were promoted to the top flight.
