Playing career
McAlpine joined Burslem Port Vale in December 1890, making his debut at the Athletic Ground in a 3–0 friendly defeat to rivals Stoke on 20 December 1890. He was a first team regular and helped the club share the North Staffordshire Charity Challenge Cup in 1891 and win the Staffordshire Charity Cup in 1892. He managed to sign for both Darlington and Vale in the summer of 1892 and was obliged to play for the former as he had given them his signature first; he also picked up a six-week suspension for his error. He returned to Vale in October 1892 and was once more a first team regular, playing ten Second Division games in 1892–93, before leaving for good in February 1893.
