The following year, Todd moved west to sign for rival club Chester Jets, before moving back to Sheffield to play for English Basketball League side Sheffield Arrows, the former development team of the Sharks.

Todd rejoined the Sharks for a third spell in 2005, and after two more years at the club, he announced his retirement from the professional game at the end of the 2006-2007 season. Though concentrating on a new business venture, Cauthorn still plays recreationally for amateur side Sheffield Sabres whilst co-commentating with Mike Shaft for Setanta Sports British Basketball League coverage.

He also has British citizenship.
