He scored eleven goals for the club in 2003–04, though he was sent out on loan to Rochdale in the latter half of the 2004–05 campaign after struggling with injury. He joined Barnsley in August 2005. He went on to score twelve goals in 2005–06, helping the club win promotion to the Championship via the play-offs. Released at the end of the 2006–07 season, he signed with Port Vale in June 2007. After five goals in 2007–08, he became the club's top-scorer for four consecutive seasons with 11 goals in 2008–09, 22 in 2009–10, 20 in 2010–11, and 17 in 2011–12.
