Never more than a fringe player in four years with the Demons he was cleared to VFA side Box Hill at the second attempt in June 1952. Brunswick had attempted to sign him at the start of the season. He captain-coached in Mustangs from 1955, and played representative football for the VFA in 1957 and 1958. In 1959 he took over as coach of Ringwood and led them to a premiership.
