Career

Douglas began his career with Northern League club Crook Town.[2] Following abortive spells at Football League clubs Newcastle United and Crystal Palace, he resumed his career with stints at North Eastern League clubs West Stanley and Washington Colliery.[2] Douglas was handed another chance at league football with Third Division South club Brentford in 1925 and went on to become a regular pick as an outside left, making 109 appearances and scoring 21 goals in a four-season spell.[3] Douglas' performances won him the attention of Second Division club Reading and he moved to Elm Park in an exchange deal for Billy Lane in 1929.[2] He made only a handful of appearances for the Royals and ended his career with spells at Bristol Rovers and Guildford City.[2][4]
