His league debut came on 28 December, when he replaced Kevin Hill as a second-half substitute in Torquay's 2-0 win at home to Southend United. He quickly settled into playing in a higher division, his distribution and awareness combining nicely with the ability to shoot well with either foot. He was appointed club captain by manager Wes Saunders, but missed the entire 2000-01 season through a cruciate ligament injury.[2]
