During the 1920s, he played cricket for Hull, though his service with them was frequently interrupted by his football commitments.[4]

He later played cricket with Sir Julien Cahn's XI in various matches from 1929 to 1937 and for the Combined Services in 1943. A wicket-keeper, he toured South America in the winter of 1929–30 with Cahn's XI. He was born in Newport, Isle of Wight and died in Beverley, Yorkshire.[5]
