McDougall was sold to Sunderland in 1929 for £4,500.[6] He made his debut for the club on 7 September 1929 against Manchester City in a 5–2 win at Roker Park.[7] Overall, he made 187 Football League and FA Cup appearances, scoring 5 goals, whilst at Sunderland from 1929 to 1934.[8]
He then moved to Leeds United where he made 59 league and cup appearances and scored once (against Wolverhampton Wanderers in the 1935–36 FA Cup). He then retired from playing in 1937.[6]
