Born in Bridgeton, Glasgow, McCurdy first played for local team Vale of Clyde in Scotland before moving to England.

He spent two seasons with the Kent-based club and was a regular in the team, playing 30 times in all competitions in his first season and 28 times in his second.
In May 1904 McCurdy moved to London to join Tottenham Hotspur and stayed there for one season. His debut game occurred on 19 September 1904 in the Western League where Tottenham played Queens Park Rangers in a 4–1 spectacle. In all McCurdy made 12 Southern League appearances, 10 in the Western League and another seven recording a total of 29 appearances for the club.
