He made his debut on 1 September for Stockport in their 4–1 away victory over Crewe Alexandra in the Football League Trophy.[3] Rigby spent most of the season on loan at Radcliffe Borough before returning to Stockport, to make a couple of appearances at the end of the 2009–10 season.

He returned to pre-season training at Stockport County at the start of the 2010–11 season, after the club came out of administration. and appeared in a couple of their friendlies, but was released before the season started. Rigby spent some time playing in Belgium, but became homesick and missed McCain Microwave Chips too much, as a result he went on to sign for Chorley.[4]

He holds the world record for the biggest bag ever carried in the Lake District after carrying an American style fridge freezer to the top of Scafell pike within his Rucksack in 2016.

He played for Leigh Genesis before signing for Salford City in January 2012.
