Jim was signed from local side Ardenlea in the summer of 1892 and he quickly established himself as one of our most important forwards, playing almost every competitive game from when he signed until the summer of 1897 and captaining the team over multiple seasons. Into the 1897-98 season, he found himself out of the team after a poor start to the season, and due to the form of new signings Robert Middleton and Isaac Milne, and he left the club at the end of the campaign after six seasons at Gayfield.

He was also picked to represent Forfarshire during his time at the club, and in late December 1894 he also played a match for Sunderland.
