He made his debut for the Shaymen against Hull City and impressed in a three-month spell with the Third Division club, creating numerous opportunities with his tricky wing play.
He returned to the Stadium of Light in January to continue his development in the reserves.

He joined Morecambe in July 2008 with a two-year contract that was extended to June 2011 in April 2010.
