He transferred to Ellerslie after moving to the area during 1929 after playing several games for Newton during the season.

In 1919, aged 19, Dufty made his debut for Auckland, starring in the regions 37-13 defence of the Northern Union Cup against Hawke's Bay.[6] His performance earned him selection for the New Zealand squad that played against the first tour of Australia.

In 1922, he toured Australia with the New Zealand Māori side. He played in five inter-island games for the North Island, his last being in 1930.[6]

In 1922 and in 1924, he played for both Auckland and Auckland Province. In 1922, his appearances were against the touring New South Wales team, while in 1924 his appearances were against the touring Great Britain Lions. He was part of the disastrous 1926-27 New Zealand tour of Great Britain, which resulted in several forwards going on strike and receiving life bans.
