He was unable to maintain such form, and appeared only rarely before surgery to a knee injured in December was expected to put paid to his season. He did reappear, in mid-April 1931, but underwent a second operation in July and was unable to resume even third-team action until October. He was called into the League side as a late replacement for Sam Smith for the visit of Everton on 2 January 1932, and despite appearing nervous in the first half, at the start of the second he opened the scoring with two quick goals as Birmingham went on to beat the League leaders 4–0.
