A native of Tyneside, Bell played his rugby with Rockliff and was a Northumberland representative. He gained an England call up in his third season in 1900. Initially selected as a reserve, Bell came into the XV for the Home Nations opener against Wales, after Lancashire C.E. Allen withdrew.[1] A speedy forward, Bell was a noted amateur sprinter.[2]
