 Horton also picked up two wickets that season, the last he was to take.For the next two years Horton continued to command a semi-regular place in the side, playing 13 times in 1937 and 18 in 1938, but with a couple of exceptions — such as his 70 against Glamorgan in the latter year — he was unable to produce good enough batting form to make a real claim to a permanent position, and he left first-class cricket without ever having scored 500 runs in a season.Horton appeared for the Worcestershire second team in minor counties cricket in 1950.
