Overview
Showed great promise as a youngster and was signed by his home town team, Kilmarnock initially in May 1947 from Glenfield Welfare. He was then allowed to go on loan to St Cuthbert's Wanderers and Newton Stewart before returning to Rugby Park in May of 1950. Made a handful of appearances before he moved to Stranraer in August 1952.
