In March 2014, after impressing with FC United he signed for Football League Two side Fleetwood Town on an eighteen-month contract, and was immediately loaned back to his former club until the end of the season.[6] He made a total 45 appearances for the FC United, scoring five goals.[7] After failing to secure a place in the Fleetwood side, in October 2014 he was loaned to Conference Premier side Alfreton Town on a one-month loan deal.[8] In November 2014 his loan was extended for a further month, in total he made eleven appearances for the club.[9] In February 2015, he was sent out on loan again to the Conference Premier, signing for Lincoln City on a one-month loan deal.[10] However, he failed to make an impact and only made one appearance as a substitute for Sean Newton in a 2–0 defeat to Bristol Rovers.[11] In March 2015, he was sent out again to the Conference Premier, signing for Southport on loan until the end of the season.[12] He made nine appearances for the Sandgrounders helping them avoid relegation to the National League North.[13]
