Sloan represented Bohemians during his career in the Irish League. A forward, he was one of the main stars in the early Bohemian history. He scored the very first goal ever at Dalymount Park in a 4-2 win over Shelbourne on 7 September 1901.

He won 8 full international caps for Ireland and once scored a hat-trick for them against Wales in a 4-4 draw in April 1906.

Sloan served as a second lieutenant in the Royal Garrison Artillery in the British Army and was killed in action during World War I on 21 January 1917. He is buried at the Guards Cemetery at Combles.
