Career

Yule played for Portobello before moving down to England to play for Lincoln City of the Second Division.[2] He moved on to Wolverhampton Wanderers in 1911. Wolves finished fifth in the Second Division in 1911–12 and then tenth in 1912–13. In his two seasons at Molineux, Yule made 33 appearances, scoring seven goals.[3] He joined Port Vale in the summer of 1913.[1] The "left-wing flyer" made his debut in a 3–3 draw with Blackburn Rovers Reserves in a Central League match at The Old Recreation Ground on 1 September 1913.[1] He was a regular in the team and helped them reach the FA Cup first round in the 1913–14 season, which they lost 3–0 to Bolton Wanderers on 10 January 1914.[1] Yule racked up 20 goals in 77 appearances before departing the club in January 1915.[1]
