Ron started his career as an amateur with Arsenal before moving across north London to Tottenham Hotspur in October 1960. Made his only appearance a week short of his 20th birthday in March 1963 -a 2-0 win at Manchester United - before joining Guildford City the following season.

A slightly built forward, he signed for Wimbledon from Guildford City for the 1966/67 season and served the side well but was unable to win a regular place and was released at the end of the season.
