Playing Career

Club(s) Began his playing career with the Stafford YMCA, before signing professional forms with Midland League side, York City FC in October 1922. After 28 league appearances and three goals, Hulme joined Blackburn Rovers on 25 February 1924 for a £250 transfer fee. Then, after six goals in 73 league outings, on 5 February 1926 he was transferred to Arsenal FC, commanding a £3500 transfer fee. Despite Tottenham Hotspur FC's attempts to sign him in October 1934, Hulme returned his fee with 333 Division One appearances, in which he amassed 107 goals. But, after turning 33, and because of a lack of first-team opportunities, Hulme was allowed to move to Huddersfield Town FC on 6 January 1938, but made just eight league appearances. Hulme announced his retirement on 23 May 1938. During the Second World War, Hulme was a Police Reserve, and was playing for the Metropolitan Police side.
