In 1925, Duffy signed with the Philadelphia Field Club of the American Soccer League. He spent two seasons in Philadelphia before moving to the Newark Skeeters for the 1927-1928 season. In 1928, the Skeeters were suspended from the ASL and moved to the Eastern Professional Soccer League. In 1929, Duffy moved to the New York Nationals. In 1930, the Nationals were renamed the New York Giants. Duffy began the fall 1930 season with the Giants before playing three games with the Brooklyn Wanderers and finished the fall with one game with the New York Soccer Club.[1]
