[edit] Career
[edit] Sunderland
He made his Sunderland debut aged 29 on Saturday, 19 October 1996, as a sub in a 3-0 defeat at Southampton. He stayed with Sunderland for a further two years before signing for archrivals Newcastle United in what was a surprise move at the time.
[edit] Newcastle
At Newcastle he was merely a backup to Steve Harper and Shay Given; he never made a competitive start for the Magpies and after being loaned to various clubs throughout his 21 month spell on Tyneside, he was granted a free transfer to Cambridge United, taking a 95% pay cut to do so.
[edit] Cambridge & Stevenage
He was released by Cambridge at the end of the 2002 season, before joining Enfield and then Stevenage Borough in February 2003[1]. He was a regular for Stevenage until in March 2004, he broke his leg playing in a league match against Barnet. He was forced to retire at the end of the season and he immediately took up a coaching role at the club. He left his coaching role at the club in April 2006.
