Club career

Born in Glasgow, Duffy made his debut for Rangers in a Scottish League Cup match against Forfar on 28 October 2003, coming on as an 84th-minute substitute for Maurice Ross.{{cite web|title=Rangers 6–0 Forfar Athletic|url=http://www.rangers.co.uk/match/match-reports/2003-04/item/4207-rangers-6-0-forfar-athletic|publisher=Rangers|access-date=5 August 2015|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150924111529/http://www.rangers.co.uk/match/match-reports/2003-04/item/4207-rangers-6-0-forfar-athletic|archive-date=24 September 2015|df=dmy-all}} Two months later, 19 year old Duffy would make his league debut, in a 2–1 win over Dundee.{{cite web|title=Rangers 2–1 Dundee United|url=http://www.rangers.co.uk/match/match-reports/2003-04/item/4199-rangers-2-1-dundee-united|publisher=Rangers|access-date=5 August 2015|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150924111526/http://www.rangers.co.uk/match/match-reports/2003-04/item/4199-rangers-2-1-dundee-united|archive-date=24 September 2015|df=dmy-all}}
After rejecting an offer from Queen of the South, Duffy signed for Falkirk the following June. The then Falkirk manager John Hughes said that some "other clubs" from Scotland as well as from abroad were also interested in his signature.{{cite web|title=Falkirk win Duffy chase|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/f/falkirk/3841357.stm|publisher=BBC|access-date=5 August 2015|archive-date=16 February 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160216100021/http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/f/falkirk/3841357.stm|url-status=live}} He scored on his debut in a Scottish League Challenge Cup against Ayr.{{cite web|title=Falkirk put the wheels in motion|url=http://www.scotsman.com/sport/football/latest/falkirk-put-the-wheels-in-motion-1-1396509|publisher=Scotsman|access-date=5 August 2015|archive-date=24 September 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150924153128/http://www.scotsman.com/sport/football/latest/falkirk-put-the-wheels-in-motion-1-1396509|url-status=live}}{{cite web|title=Bell's Cup first round|url=http://www.scotsman.com/sport/football/latest/bell-s-cup-first-round-1-1396343|publisher=Scotsman|access-date=5 August 2015|archive-date=24 September 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150924153015/http://www.scotsman.com/sport/football/latest/bell-s-cup-first-round-1-1396343|url-status=live}} In the following month, he would start his scoring with a brace against Montrose, finding the net in the 15th and 31st minute of a 4–1 victory.{{cite web|title=Falkirk 4–1 Montrose|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/scot_div_1/3552892.stm|publisher=BBC|access-date=5 August 2015|archive-date=16 February 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160216085128/http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/scot_div_1/3552892.stm|url-status=live}} This would mark a start of nine goals in seven matches, and come the end of the season, Duffy would score a total of 27 goals in 44 appearances.

Duffy joined Hull City on 10 January 2006, penning a two-and-a-half-year contract. Falkirk chairman Campbell Christie expressed his disappointment about the transfer saying that Duffy wanted to "develop" his career in England.{{cite news| title = Hull sign Falkirk striker Duffy| url = http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/f/falkirk/4597086.stm| publisher = BBC Sport| date = 10 January 2006| access-date = 25 February 2007| archive-date = 11 February 2006| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20060211190159/http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/f/falkirk/4597086.stm| url-status = live}} Though BBC wrote that the transfer fee was £250,000, The Guardian said that he joined the club for an undisclosed fee.{{cite web|title=Original Comic Gems; and Stan 'n' Sobby|url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/2006/jan/10/thefiver.sport|work=The Guardian|access-date=5 August 2015|archive-date=5 March 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160305002321/http://www.theguardian.com/football/2006/jan/10/thefiver.sport|url-status=live}} However, with limited opportunities at Hull, particularly after the departure of manager Peter Taylor, he joined Hartlepool United on loan in November 2006, scoring 5 goals in 10 games for the then League Two side.
An even more productive loan spell followed in February 2007, when Duffy joined League One side Swansea City on loan, scoring five goals in as many starts, as the Swans narrowly missed out on the playoffs. In July 2007 Duffy joined Swansea permanently, signing a three-year contract for an initial fee of £200,000.{{cite news| title = Swansea end Duffy transfer saga| url = http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/s/swansea_city/6222952.stm| publisher = BBC Sport| date = 10 July 2007| access-date = 10 July 2007| archive-date = 2 October 2007| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20071002183123/http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/s/swansea_city/6222952.stm| url-status = live}}

At the end of the 2008–09 season, Duffy had scored 13 goals for Rovers. After this, however, Duffy's first team opportunities were restricted.{{cite news |url=http://www.heraldscotland.com/sport/spl/hibernian/darryl-duffy-hopes-he-can-rediscover-his-best-form-under-john-hughes-at-hibs-1.1051661 |last=Collin |first=Iain |title=Darryl Duffy hopes he can rediscover his best form under John Hughes at Hibs |work=The Herald |date=31 August 2010 |access-date=31 August 2010 |archive-date=5 October 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121005143810/http://www.heraldscotland.com/sport/spl/hibernian/darryl-duffy-hopes-he-can-rediscover-his-best-form-under-john-hughes-at-hibs-1.1051661 |url-status=live }} He had a loan spell at Carlisle United{{cite news| title = Carlisle seal deals for Ben Marshall and Darryl Duffy| url = http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/c/carlisle_united/8491423.stm| publisher = BBC Sport| date = 1 February 2010| access-date = 5 October 2013| archive-date = 29 June 2023| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20230629181939/http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/c/carlisle_united/8491423.stm| url-status = live}} where he scored once against MK Dons.{{cite news| title = Carlisle 5 – 0 MK Dons| url = http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_div_2/8494112.stm| publisher = BBC Sport| date = 13 February 2010| access-date = 5 October 2013| archive-date = 29 June 2023| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20230629182039/http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/eng_div_2/8494112.stm| url-status = live}}
