He began his career at Queens Park Rangers, where he played in the FA Premier League. While at QPR, he had a loan spell at Plymouth Argyle. In July 1995 Reading paid £550,000 for his services,[2] and he went on to make 67 appearances for the club before moving to Bristol Rovers in the summer of 1998. He had a loan spell at Swindon Town in 2000, before returning to Plymouth in 2001. He has also played for Northwich Victoria, Henley Town, Southall Town, Mangotsfield United and Hounslow Borough, and in the summer of 2006 he re-joined Mangotsfield for a second spell at the club.[3]
Although not a prolific goalscorer for most of his career, during the 2005-06 season at Hounslow he broke the club record for most league goals in a season (41),[4] and scored a total of 44 in all competitions.[3]
He has also been capped by Wales at Full International, B and under-21 level.[5] He is a Masters Football Legend helping QPR win the London Masters in 2009 and 2010.
He now runs 'The No.1 Football Academy' at the David Lloyd Westbury Health Club in Bristol.
