McCormick began his career with Rotherham United having been spotted playing for the local YMCA. Despite interest from other clubs, he moved to Chesterfield in 1932 and just eight months later he signed for Tottenham Hotspur.

After revitalising the side's 1933/34 promotion push, McCormick became a mainstay of the side that finish 3rd in the 1933/34 First Division and remained a constant figure until a serious injury suffered at the start of the 1937/38 season virtually finished his career.

After guesting for more than a dozen clubs during the Second World War, McCormick joined Fulham in 1946 but injuries restricted him to just nine appearances in two years and he moved to Lincoln City in 1947. He spent just three months with Crystal Palace in 1949.
