He played a further 92 games there before moving to Hull Kingston Rovers in 1975. He also represented Other Nationalities six times in the 1974 and 1975 county championships. He qualified for Wales due to his Welsh grandparents and ended up moving to the country after his career ended, becoming a successful businessman, hotelier and restaurateur.
