In early 1958, he first moved to the Wolverhampton Wanderers , where he could not establish himself as a regular and therefore did not receive a medal after winning the championship at the end of the season. In the autumn he moved to Arsenal , where he was a regular player. However, after he was no longer regularly accrued in the season 1961/62, he went to local rivals Fulham FC . Here he ended his professional career in 1964 and then let his career in amateur football end.
