Career

Durrant joined Luton Town in 1897 from local club Luton Stanley. He stayed with the club throughout their three-year spell in the Football League, and spent four further seasons with Luton Town in the Southern League before signing for Leicester Fosse in 1904.[1]

After five years with Leicester, Durrant joined non-League Leyton, where he stayed for four seasons before rejoining Luton. He played a full season at the club, before retiring early in the 1914–15 season. [1][2]
