After the Second World War, he was stationed at St.Athan and he made his Glamorgan debut in 1946. The Irish-born all-rounder won his county cap in his debut season, and in 1949 he scored a career-best 190 against Hampshire at Bournemouth whilst sharing what still stands as a club record fifth wicket partnership of 264 with Stan Montgomery.

 

He left the county`s staff in 1950 and joined Warwickshire for whom he played until 1952.
