Roughly played at amateur level before signing for Hull in May 1906, just after Hull's first season in the Football League. After Martin Spendiff left for Bradford City in April 1908, Roughly became the first choice goalkeeper. He missed only five games over the next four seasons, during which period he made 131 consecutive League appearances, setting a record for a Hull player.[5] The following season, Nick Hendry was preferred to him and he never played for the first team again. In 1914, he left Hull for Midland League side Chesterfield Town.[6]
