Duffield went on to become a fine servant for the Elland Road club for many years. However, after Tillotson had played in United�s first-ever League game at Port Vale on 28th August 1920 and their first-ever game at Elland Road against South Shields the following Wednesday, both games at left back in tandem with Bert Duffield, he gave way to Jimmy Frew and return to Castleford Town in September. His brother, Joe, also played for Castleford.
