He played two more matches that year and played fully in the 1926 and 1927 season. In 1927 he achieved 5-41 bowling against Glamorgan and made his top score of 39 not out against Kent. He only played four matches in the 1928 season which was his last first-class season. He was a right-arm fast-medium bowler who took 56 first-class wickets with an average of 34.62 and a best performance of 5-41. As a left-hand batsman he played 42 innings in 38 matches with a top score of 39 and an average of 7.17.[1]
