As a player he was a midfielder from 1996 to 2014. He started his career with Middlesbrough in 1996, where he stayed for four years. In 2000, he moved on to Port Vale, and made over 250 appearances for the club in a six-year stay, picking up a League Trophy winners medal in 2001. Between 2006 and 2008 he was signed to Darlington, and in 2008 he joined Rotherham United. Two years later he transferred to Grimsby Town, before he joined Gateshead in May 2011. Over the course of his career he scored 67 goals in 588 league and cup appearances. He has also appeared for the Republic of Ireland under-21 team and played all of Ireland's five games at the 1997 FIFA World Youth Championship.

He joined Brian Horton's Port Vale on a free transfer in March 2000. He played twelve First Division games in 1999–2000, as the "Valiants" were relegated into the Second Division. He scored his first senior goal on 21 March, in a 2–1 defeat to Walsall at Vale Park.
