As a representative of Malcolm McVean , he contributed as a right half-forward with two goals to a 3-1 win in the Football League Second Division over Burton Swifts and was certified by the Athletic News as a "fine game". At the end of the season Liverpool rose as a superior second division champion in the First Division , in the first division season 1894/95 was added for Worgan in October 1894 a further assignment.
