As he slipped out of favour at Parkhead, he was eventually shipped out on loan to Bristol City before joining Carlisle United in 1988 despite Tommy McLeans best attempts to bring him to Fir Park. Tony was a regular at Brunton Park, McLean obviously kept tabs on his progress and in the summer of 1991 he would pay Carlisle £50,000 for his services. He made his debut coming on as a substitute in a 1-0 win over Airdrie on August 1991. His time at Motherwell was hardly a success as he would struggle to break into the first team, he will certainly go down as one of Tommy McLeans least successful splurges into the transfer market.
He would later play in Northern Ireland with Portadown, Cliftonville and Glenavon as well as turning out for Ayr, Partick, Albion Rovers and Stranraer before moving onto the Junior ranks. After finishing his career he would join the Fire Service and would be based locally in Lanarkshire.
