He was released by Newcastle at the end of the 2019–20 season.[7] In September 2020 he signed for Morecambe.[8][9] He was offered a new contract by the club in June 2021,[10] and signed a two-year deal later that month.[11] He was released by the club at the end of the 2022–23 season,[12] and it was announced that he would sign for Harrogate Town on 1 July.[13]
