Born in Glasgow, Logan started his career with Motherwell before moving to Notts County in 1898.[2] He spent a single season there before moving to Woolwich Arsenal in May 1899. He was an immediate first-team regular at inside right, displacing Jack Aston and playing 23 league games; his debut came in a First Division game against Leicester Fosse on 2 September 1899.[3]

Logan left Arsenal in the summer of 1900 to join Reading of the Southern League but returned to Woolwich Arsenal a year later. His second spell at Arsenal was shorter and less successful; he only played five league games before losing his place to Bill Gooing. He left Arsenal for Brentford in November 1901; in total he made 29 appearances for Arsenal, scoring 7 goals.[4]
