He played for Llanelli until 1938, apart from a short period with Birmingham in 1924-25, and scored more than 1,200 points for the club. He captained Llanelli from 1925 to 1928, 1930 to 1932 and 1933 to 1936, and led them to the Welsh club title three times between 1927 and 1933. He won his first cap for Wales in 1924 against England and made his last appearance as captain against Scotland in 1930.
