 Comfortable either at left-back or in midfield, Sandwith stayed at Telford until the summer of 2001 without every really fully establishling himself.He moved on to Doncaster Rovers but, after starting the season as the regular left-back, a broken foot kept him on the sidelines for three months and he found it hard to regain a regular starting position.In November 2002, he moved on to Halifax Town and cemented a regular starting berth.
