He started his career with his hometown club Bradford City, making his debut at the age of 17. He helped Bradford win promotion to the First Division by scoring in the 1996 Football League Second Division play-off final. He left Bradford less than a year later for a club record £2m having played more than 100 career games.

He later went on to spend five years with Non-League side Campion. He won one England under-21 cap.
