In December 2010 he joined Conference North side Workington A.F.C. on loan. He made his debut for Workington on 11 December in a league match against Stafford Rangers but bad weather saw further games postponed. It was reported that he had returned to Accrington on 24 December but his loan was later extended.

It was announced by Accrington on 23 May that he would be released at the end of June 2011 when his current contract expired.

In October 2011 he re-joined Northwich Victoria for his second spell at the club. In May 2012 he moved to Colwyn Bay.
