Senior club career

Briggs signed for high flying Football [League First Division|1st Division] side Leeds United straight from school, though never managed to get beyond playing for the reserves.

He moved to English Division 4 club Doncaster Rovers in February 1969, scoring on his debut in a 7–0 victory over Aldershot on 23 February. He went on to play in all the subsequent 17 League games that season, and score 4 goals in what was Doncaster's title winning year as they gained promotion to Division 3.
The following season he made 31 League appearances, scoring 8 goals, occasionally being replaced by Laurie Sheffield. He also played in 3 cup games and scored in the League Cup against Blackburn of Division 2.
The 1970-71 season was less successful for Doncaster as they were relegated, though Briggs managed 10 goals in 31 League and Cup games, sometimes playing inside right and right wing.
After making a total of 127 League and Cup appearances, scoring 36 goals, it was at the end of the 1972–73 season that he was released on a free transfer with Yeovil Town picking him up.

Briggs was released after just one season as Yeovil finished 6th in the Southern League.
