Cameron was invited by St Kilda to train with the hope of getting a game in 1920. He won their Club Champion award in his debut season.[2][3] More interested in setting himself up for life rather than playing football, Cameron established himself in Wodonga where he ran a business.
He found himself playing for St. Patricks, the catholic team based in Albury. St Patricks was the dominant team in the Ovens & Murray Football League in the 1920s in Albury until sectarian violence forced the league to act and redistribute the players by location not religion.
