Biography
A powerful and much experienced veteran striker signed from Sutton Coldfield Town in September 2015. He started out as an apprentice with WBA in 1997 and turning professional in 1999. With opportunities limited at The Hawthorns, he joined Bristol Rovers in January 2001. Towards the end of 2002 he went to Stevenage Borough on loan before signing for them on a more permanent basis in March 2003. In the summer of 2004 he moved to Woking and his goalscoring exploits in 2005-06 led him to join Peterborough United in June 2006. Unable to cement a regular place, loan spells followed at Grays Athletic and Boston United before he moved to Kidderminster Harriers in the summer of 2007. He was loaned out to Oxford United for the second-half of the 2007-08 campaign before returning to the Aggborough fold for the following season. In 2009 he signed for Cheltenham Town, but after finishing 2009-10 as top scorer for the Robins, he was on the move again to Port Vale. In July 2011 he joined Burton Albion, however after dropping down the pecking order in 2012-13 he went on loan to Oxford United for a second time in January 2013 and later that month made the move permanent. On being released in May 2013 he spent one season with Tamworth before signing for Sutton Coldfield Town in July 2014 where 29 goals in all competitions helped the Royals to win promotion via the Evo-stik League Division One South play-offs in May 2015.
