McDougall was sold to Sunderland in 1929 for £4,500.[3] He made his debut for Sunderland on 7 September 1929 against Manchester City in a 5–2 win at Roker Park.[4] Overall, he made 167 league appearances scoring 4 goals from 1929 to 1934 whilst at Sunderland.[5]

He then moved to Leeds United and played 52 league appearances, and scored no goals. He then retired from playing in 1937.[3]
