Playing career

McCallum made his first grade debut for South Sydney against Glebe in the 1908 semi final which Souths won 16–3 at Wentworth Park.

Souths went on to reach the first NSWRL grand final against rivals Eastern Suburbs. McCallum played in the match as Souths claimed their first premiership winning 14–12 at the Royal Agricultural Society Grounds in front of 4000 spectators.

In 1909, McCallum joined Western Suburbs and played one game for the club, a 7–3 victory over North Sydney in Round 8 1909. McCallum then rejoined South Sydney midway through the 1909 season but only managed to play reserve grade for the club before retiring at the end of 1910.[2][3][4][5]
