In 1984, he rode for Wolverhampton before being signed by Oxford Cheetahs for the 1985 British League season. At Oxford he teamed up again with Hans Nielsen and the pair formed a formidable partnership at positions 1 and 2 in the team. He was part of the league and cup double winning team in both 1985 and 1986.[6]

In 1987, he teamed up with Nielsen to win the British League Pairs Championship, held at Smallmead Stadium.[7] He spent a year at Wolverhampton in 1988 after signing fo £12,000[8] before returning to Oxford again for the 1989 British League season, where he won another league title.[2]

In 1990, he left Oxford to drop down a division and joined Wimbledon Dons. He won the National League Riders' Championship, held on 15 September 1990 at Brandon Stadium and also topped Wimbledon's averages.[9]

He would reach his seventh British final in 1993 and continued to ride until the end of 1994.
