Addy was a member of the Leeds Central League side in the 1962-63 season, which featured himself at Right-Half and Gary Sprake, Paul Reaney, Paul Madeley, Norman Hunter, Rod Johnson, Peter Lorimer and Terry Cooper, all of whom were soon to emerge as first team players and future Internationals.He later played played twice in his favoured Right Half position as replacement for the injured Eric Smith but he was soon replaced by Willie Bell. Addy did not feature again in the United senior team, though he had done enough to be retained at the end of the season. With Leeds promoted to the First Division in 1964, however, he failed to make an impact in the emerging United team and moved to Barnsley in June 1964.
