Playing career
Northmore won a cap for England while at Millom in 1897 against Ireland.[3]
After Millom converted from the rugby union code to the rugby league code in 1897, Northmore was one of the players who voted to change codes and continued to play for the club. At some later date he transferred to Barrow.[4]
