He played for Partick in the 1930 Scottish Cup Final which they lost to Rangers after a replay,[5] but did manage to claim winner's medals with the Jags in the Glasgow Merchants Charity Cup in 1927[6] and the one-off Glasgow Dental Hospital Cup in 1928, both against the same opponents.[7]

His son George and grandson Craig were also footballers.[8]
