He started his career in Newcastle United’s youth team and joined Durham City from Northern League side Bishop Auckland in 2010 and finished his first season as leading scorer for the Citizens when they were in the Evostik League. He joined Darlo in the summer of 2012, and finished the season as top scorer with 24 league goals. He went on to score another 21 in season 2013-14.
