He featured 37 times for PNE, until he completed a permanent transfer to Swansea City. He would go on to make over 60 appearances for both Crawley Town and Fleetwood Town, before making a loan move permanent with Bradford City in 2016.

Since then, he has gone on to feature for the likes of Bolton Wanderers, Carlisle United, Rotherham United, Wigan Athletic, Port Vale & Barrow AFC.
