He went on to play a total of 92 VFL games for the Tigers, kicking 149 goals. He was Richmond's top goal kicker in 1958 with 28 goals, 1961 (29) and 1962 (42). In 1963 he transferred to Sturt and promptly topped the Blues'goal kicking list with 37 goals. He spent three seasons with the club, playing 54 SANFL games and kicking 80 goals.
