Seymour was a full-forward and was recruited from New South Wales to join Carlton in the 1927 season. After two seasons with Carlton, he moved to Northcote where he became a prolific goalkicker, and topped the VFA's goal kicking with over 100 goals in three separate seasons.
He played 201 games for the club, and was one of three players to play in all five of Northcote's top division premiership teams (1929, 1932, 1933, 1934 and 1936).[2] His career tally of 880 goals was the Northcote record when the club folded in 1987, and was a VFA record until 1962 when it was broken by Bob Bonnett.
