Southwood was a right-handed middle or lower order batsman and a right-arm slow bowler, though he did not bowl in his three first-class games. In his debut match against the strong Kent side in 1911 he made 17 and 20 batting at No 8.[2] That was his only match in 1911 but he appeared in two more games in 1913 and in the first of them, against Derbyshire, he batted at No 6 and made 13 and 33, which was the top score of his brief career.[3]
