Rugby Union career
Amateur career
Todd played for Gala, usually playing at Fly half and sometimes Inside Centre. He was to become club captain.[1]
Provincial career
Todd played for the South of Scotland in 1910.[2]
The first outing of the Combined Scottish Districts was originally deemed a 'Glasgow and Districts' line-up, despite players from all around Scotland actually outnumbering those from Glasgow District. Todd played for the combined district side on 27 November 1912 against South Africa.[3]
Todd also played for a Borders XV against Glasgow Academicals in December 1913; missing out on selection for the South versus North match the same day.[4]
International career
Todd was capped just the once for Scotland in 1911. Although he normally played at Fly half or Inside Centre for Gala, he was capped playing Full Back.[5]
Administrative career
In 1937 Todd was made President of Gala. A year later the club made him a life member.[1]
