Alford joined North Melbourne from University High and worked his way up from the thirds, where he won a Morrish Medal in 1950.

A rover, Alford played with North Melbourne for two seasons, in 1952 and 1953.[3] He was third in their goal-kicking in each of those years.[3]

In 1954 he signed with Williamstown and then played with Traralgon in the Latrobe Valley Football League (LVFL), as captain-coach.[4] He won the LVFL best and fairest award in 1956 and also topped the league's goal-kicking that year.
