He was initially based with Eric Cousins and rode his first winner on novice chaser Kamver at Market Rasen on Boxing Day 1955. His second came courtesy of handicap hurdler Hindhead, trained by Bill Marshall, at Windsor in November 1957, one of just a dozen mounts he had that season.

Thereafter he remained with Bill Marshall and, having renewed his Flat jockey’s licence in 1966, rode his one and only winner in that sphere on Czaremont in the Portobello Selling Handicap at Edinburgh on June 20. He held a licence for one more season but had no further success.
