Battles played twice in Second Division matches at the climax of the 1895-96 season and also figured in three of the four 'Test' matches at the end of that campaign - games which decided the promotion and relegation issues of the day.
His only other appearance for the club was at home to Bury on March 31, 1898 in his second spell at the club. Battles made three international appearances for Scotland three years after he left Liverpool for the second time.
