He joined Rangers in the summer of 1889, and was a key figure in the early years of the Scottish Football League. He won the shared 1890–91 championship, as well as the Scottish Cup in 1894. He made 124 appearances with Rangers in the two major competitions and scored five goals.[2] In 1896 he moved to Abercorn.[3]
