Cameron was invited by St Kilda to train with the hope of getting a game in 1920. He won their Club Champion award in his debut season.[2][3] More interested in setting himself up for life rather than playing football, Cameron established himself in Wodonga where he ran a business. He found himself playing for St. Patricks, the catholic team based in Albury. St Patricks was the dominant team in the 1920s in Albury until sectarian violence forced the league to act and redistribute the players by location not religion.
