Career
Flounders began his career with his local club Hull City and was a regular presence in the side managed by Brian Horton that won promotion to the Third Division in 1983 and to the Second Division in 1985.[2]
He joined Scunthorpe United during the 1986–87 season and continued his prolific scoring form, which was maintained when he joined Rochdale for a fee of £80,000[2] after rejecting a contract extension at Scunthorpe[3] in 1991. Loan spells at Rotherham United and Carlisle United and a brief stay at Northampton Town and Guangdong Hongyuan (between March and April 1995) followed before he joined Brigg Town, playing in the FA Vase final for the club in 1996[4] and finally North Ferriby United, for whom he scored over 150 goals[2]
