He was promoted to the select group of assistant referees in 2008 and in the same year was appointed as an assistant referee for a Football League Play Off Semi-Final between Rochdale and Darlington and a UEFA Cup tie.
He was appointed as a referee in 2009/10 and in his first match took charge of Notts.Co 4-0 win at Macclesfield on 15 August 2009.
His last Burnley match was a 1-0 defeat at Barnsley on 5 January 2013, which saw former PNE player Brian Stock sent off for two yellow cards on 37 minutes for the Clarets.
His last match saw Coventry win 4-0 at Carlisle on 17 August.
