The pair won the British Covered Court Championships, twice made the Wimbledon doubles quarter-finals and were doubles semi-finalists at the 1925 French Championships, where they lost in five sets to Jean Borotra and René Lacoste. They featured together in the 1928 and 1929 International Lawn Tennis Challenge (Davis Cup) campaigns, winning four of their five doubles rubbers. In their only loss, to Italy in the 1928 Europe Zone semi-final, they had held match points
In 1931 he announced his intention to retire from the tour.
