He spent a further seven years at St Andrews, during which time he had loan spells at Carlisle United and Gillingham, before joining Hartlepool United in 2001. He went on to make 24 appearances for Hartlepool, scoring one goal. In February 2004 he moved to Asia, signing for Pahang FA, and won the inaugural Malaysian Super League in his first season there. He began the 2005 season with Pahang, but moved back to England to join Bristol Rovers in March of that year. He spent one full season at the Memorial Stadium, but was realeased in 2006 and joined Salisbury City.
