This season, he reached the semi-finals with the club and the FA Cup, where they lost to Everton 1-2.

1933 joined Pollard in the French Division 1, where he joined FC Sochaux.

He found a job in the power station of Ilford and supervised the local factory team as a coach. He died in 1945 of a heart attack.
