His football career was spent with Windsor Home Park, Swifts, and Corinthian and he gained representative honours for Berkshire. His solitary England appearance came on 4 March 1876 against Scotland at Hamilton Crescent, Partick.

His younger brothers, Arthur and Charles played 3 and 18 times respectively for England. They are the only trio of brothers to have played for England.[3]
