He began his football career as an apprentice with Sheffield Wednesday, made his first-team debut in January 1979, and stayed with the club for six years.[2][3] In his last season with the club, he helped them to runners-up spot in the Second Division and promotion to the First, but was then sold to Derby County, then a Third Division team.[4] After only a few months he moved on to Crystal Palace, where he spent two-and-a-half years and played 99 games in all competitions.[5] In October 1987 he signed for Scunthorpe United, his last professional club, where his passing ability contributed to their reaching the playoffs three times in four years.[6] He went on to play non-league football for Fryston Colliery Welfare.[3]
