Despite the season being curtailed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Rylands were promoted to the Northern Premier League Division One West at the end of the season due to a restructuring of the non-league pyramid.[6] Rylands were also successful in the 2020–21 FA Vase reaching the final after a 2–1 semi-final win over Walsall Wood, with Drummond scoring the first of the two Warrington goals.[7] Drummond played all 90 minutes of the final as Warrington defeated Binfield 3–2.[8]
Drummond scored 18 goals over the course of the 2021–22 season as Rylands were promoted to the Premier Division as champions at the end of the season.[9][10] He was named Northern Premier League West Division player of the season, as well as being named in the divisional team of the year.[11]
Macclesfield
[edit]On 15 November 2022, it was announced that Drummond had signed for Northern Premier League Division One West leaders Macclesfield for an undisclosed fee.[2][12] Drummond won Division One West for the second consecutive season in 2022–23.[13]
At the end of the 2023–24 season, he was named in the Premier Division's team of the season.[14]
Chesterfield
[edit]On 9 May 2024, Drummond signed for newly promoted EFL League Two club Chesterfield on a one-year deal, after rejecting a new contract from Macclesfield.[15][16] He made his debut as an 85th-minute substitute in a 1–1 draw with Swindon Town in the opening game of the season.[17][18]
