Bourne was born at Moira, Leicestershire, the son of Thomas Bourne, a colliery manager and his wife Rose. They lived at Church Gresley where he was a colliery clerk in 1891.[1]

Bourne, with fellow one-timer William Prince, played one match for Derbyshire in the 1898 season which was against Nottinghamshire in July. He was a left-arm medium-pace bowler and took three wickets in over 40 overs during the match. As a left-handed batsman, he batted for just a single innings in the tailend to make 6 runs.[2]

Bourne died in Burton-on-Trent at the age of 80.
