With Dundee he took part in two tours of Spain,[3] finished on the losing side in the 1925 Scottish Cup Final[4] and was selected for the Scottish Football League XI in 1926.[5] In his first season after moving to England with Football League First Division Blackburn, he won the FA Cup in 1928.[6][7] He moved on to Second Division Charlton in March 1932,[8] but was part of the team relegated in 1932–33, after which he retired from the professional game and became as player-manager of Burton Town, signing several other Scots including Alex Hair,[9] John Torbet and former Dundee and Charlton teammate Johnnie Rankin (no relation). He was possibly in post until 1939 when George Collin is known to have taken over.
