He was loaned to Luton Town in March 1996, but suffered a compound leg fracture in a Division One fixture against Port Vale, and was out of action for the next year. On regaining his fitness, he had loan spells with AFC Bournemouth and Millwall, and left Old Trafford when his contract expired in the summer of 1998.[3]

He then joined Macclesfield Town and then played for Exeter City. He scored 20 goals in 136 appearances.[4] After a brief trial with back at Bradford City,[5] he later played non-league football for Stevenage Borough, Kingstonian, Bedford Town, St Albans City, Stotfold and Dunstable Town.[6]
