He joined after Celtic needed to rebuild their squad after being relegated from the Conference in 1998, and was a major part of the promotion back into that illustrious non-league division just three years later.

His passion and comittment have never been doubted, and he has scored an impressive 40+ goals from his midfield powerhouse position. He has been sent off a few times, most memorably against Emley in the Championship winning season, but has always bounced back.

His stint in the Conference never saw his best goalscoring form, but that was down to the tactics and positions Paul Futcher employed him in. Despite hardly getting a consistent run in the team, every time he played he was a midfield engine, proving he is without doubt, a team player through and through.

His main goal is that the team wins, and he will give everything he has, and more, in order to see that happens. This was proven in the first season back in the Unibond where he was the first to re-sign and took the mantle of club captain after Chris Timons left, and did it proud helping the team to the President Cup. 2003/04 was his testimonial year - despite starting it injured! When he came back, against Altrincham, Celtic saw their form improved, such is his inspirational quality.

He made his 300th appearance for Celtic in our home match against Worcester City, and capped it with his 51st goal.

In 2007, with first team appearances diminishing, he joined Curzon Ashton leaving behind many fond memories and will always be remembered as a true Celtic legend.
