Culph, a forward, was South Melbourne's leading goal-kicker in the 1943 VFL season.[3] He kicked 35 goals from his 11 appearances that year, with a best of six goals in a win over Melbourne at Punt Road Oval.[4]
He returned to his original club, Port Melbourne, in 1945 and remained with the club until his retirement in 1951, playing 117 games. Culph was a member of their 1947 premiership team and topped their goal-kicking in 1949.[5]
