He immediately went out on loan with Port Vale, but returned to Pride Park within three weeks having failed to make an appearance. He kept goal on just under 50 occasions for Derby within close to six years with the club. He joined Bolton Wanderers on loan at the start of the 2004–05 season, but only made one appearance before moving on to Walsall on a free transfer in March 2005. He managed to become the first choice keeper at Walsall but was released in May 2006. He signed with Swansea City in August 2006. Barely used during the 2006–07 season he was released upon its conclusion and signed with Darlington in May 2007.
