Duffield also holds the club record for being the first Sheffield United substitute to be substituted after playing 14 minutes at Craven Cottage against Fulham on 29 April 1989. His last league start was on 10 December 1989 when he broke his leg at Swindon Town. He went on loan to six clubs in as many years, namely Halifax Town, Rotherham United, Blackpool, Bournemouth, Crewe Alexandra and .
In September 1993 he joined Scottish club Hamilton Academical, where he made his name. In two years at Douglas Park he scored 38 goals in 72 league appearances.
