The
35-year-old Stoke-born no-nonsense six-foot defender started his career in
Crewe Alexandra’s renowned youth academy and turned professional in the summer
of 2005 before joining Stafford Rangers in 2007, following two successful loan
periods there.
He
returned to the pro ranks with Port Vale in 2010 and was snapped up a year
later by Mansfield Town.
After
helping the Stags reach the Conference play-off semi-finals in his debut
season, he was a mainstay of their return to the Football League as champions
in 2012/13.
League
Two was a step up he took in his stride, so much so that he was voted
Mansfield’s player-of-the-season in his final campaign at Field Mill before
joining Tranmere Rovers on a two-year deal in May 2015.
The
Birkenhead club had just been relegated from the Football League, but he played
a key role in their return to League Two in his second season at Prenton Park.
He
signed for League Two Morecambe in January 2019 and made 19 appearances for the
Shrimps but was released at the end of his contract.
He
signed for Altrincham in August 2020. |
