He was educated at Haileybury College, before going up to study medicine at Emmanuel College, Cambridge.[1] He played minor counties cricket for Oxfordshire on three occasions during his summer break, playing twice in the 1896 Minor Counties Championship and once in the 1899 Minor Counties Championship.[2] While at Cambridge he made a single appearance in first-class cricket for Cambridge University against Surrey at The Oval in 1899.[3] Batting once in the match, he was dismissed in the Cambridge first-innings without scoring by Bill Brockwell.
