Little began his career with his hometown club Ilford and Southend United before joining Football League Second Division side Bradford Park Avenue in 1908. He was a decent forward as a teenager and he helped Bradford gain promotion in 1913–14 scoring 24 goals in 39 games. His career was interrupted by World War I but he returned to Bradford once the League was restored in 1919–20.[1] With Bradford heading for relegation he joined Stoke in 1920–21 where he played 21 times for the "Potters" scoring once against Clapton Orient.[1]
