Gough was a forward pocket and second rover for South Melbourne in their 1909 premiership team. He kicked South Melbourne's fourth and final goal, in the third quarter, which helped them secure a two-point win.[5] In 1910 he did not miss a single game and he appeared in the opening 16 rounds of the 1911 VFL season.[6]

He then spent some time in New South Wales, playing for Sydney club Paddington. He returned to South Melbourne for one final season in 1915.[7]
