Dave was initially an S form signing from Arbroath Lads Club in June 1977, and he was given his debut by Albert Henderson in 2-0 win away to Dundee at Dens Park in May 1979, coming on as a substitute to replace Billy Gavine for the last five minutes. He would go on to sign his first professional deal with the club two months after this appearance, and he would fully break into the first team during the second half of the 1979-80 season, making 14 appearances by the end of the campaign. Over the next three seasons he struggled for regular game time, although Ian Stewart gave him a run of games between April and October 1981, but after only four competitive appearances during the 1982-83 season he was only allowed to leave on a free transfer in May 1983 and he went on to join Arbroath Sporting Club.
