Career

Drummond may have begun his career with Arbroath F.C. in his native Scotland. In 1923, he played a handful of games with the Fall River Marksmen at the end of the 1922–23 American Soccer League season. In September 1923, he moved to J&P Coats.[1]

His best season came in 1924-25 when he scored eighteen goals in forty-two league games, putting him ninth on the league scoring table.[2] His production quickly tapered off. During the 1925-26 season, he scored eleven goals (ten league and one cup) in thirty-two games (twenty-eight league and four cup games).[3] This led to J&P Coats sending him to back to the Marksmen during the 1926-1927 season.

He played only two games in Fall River before moving to the Newark Skeeters for the end of the season. He began the 1927-28 season in Newark, but again moved, this time back to J&P Coats during the season.

In 1928, he joined the New Bedford Whalers where he played only four games over two seasons.
