In January 2008, he signed for Hinckley United of the Conference North. A move to Solihull Moors followed in February 2009, before signing for Conference North side Corby Town on 1 June 2009, joining several other former Diamonds players at the newly promoted club. He was released by Corby before the season started, moving to Ilkeston Town in early August 2009.
