He left Bloomfield Road and joined Port Vale, initially on trial, in August 1978.[1] He impressed enough to be offered a contract and was a regular first team player from February to April 1979, scoring two goals in 18 Fourth Division appearances in the 1978–79 season.[1] However he was sacked by "Valiants" manager Dennis Butler in August 1979 after failing to report to Vale Park for the 1979–80 season.[1] He had already joined Winsford United and later played for Ashton United and Kidderminster Harriers (Southern League).[1]
