Eglington first represented the Surrey Second XI in the 1927 Minor Counties Championship, making two appearances against the Kent Second XI and Buckinghamshire.[1] He next appeared for the Surrey Second XI in the 1938 Minor Counties Championship, in the same season in which he made his first-class debut for Surrey against Derbyshire at Queen's Park, Chesterfield, in the County Championship. He made a second first-class appearance for the county in that same season against Cambridge University at The Oval.[2] He didn't feature for Surrey in 1939, instead playing for the county's Second XI in the Minor Counties Championship,[1] which allowed him to be selected for a combined Minor Counties cricket team, making a single first-class appearance for the team in 1939 against the touring West Indians at Lord's.[2] In a match which was drawn, he scored 23 runs in the Minor Counties only innings, before being dismissed by Learie Constantine.[3]

He died at Winchester, Hampshire, on 20 March 1979.
