A marvellous servant to Accies from the time he joined them in 1906 from Renfrew Victoria, though he came from Tannochside.

He collected a Lanarkshire Cup winners medal in 1910 after two drawn games against Wishaw Thistle when it was decided that the clubs should be joint winners. The previous year he was in the Accies side which lost to Airdrieonians at the same stage, also after a replay.

Could play in either of the full back positions. He was the leading scorer in the Scottish Cup competition for Accies when they reached the Final in April 1911 against Celtic. A penalty or free kick specialist.

In February 1912 he was temporarily transferred to Raith Rovers to assist them in the Scottish Cup as he was not cup tied with Accies at that time.
