Armes joined Wigan Athletic in 1934, and scored twice in the club's 6–1 win against his former club Carlisle United in the first round of the 1934–35 FA Cup, a record margin of victory for a non-league side over a Football League team in the competition.[1] He went on to score 20 goals in 47 Cheshire League games before being signed by Leeds United during the 1935–36 season.[2]

He died in Sunderland on 27 August 1958,[3] and his funeral took place at Dawdon Parish Church.[4]
