Career
Born in Liverpool, Duffy played for the youth teams of both home-town club Liverpool and Welsh team Wrexham. Duffy began his senior career playing non-League football for Vauxhall Motors, Prescot Cables and Southport.
Duffy signed for League Two club Morecambe on loan in February 2009, before making the move permanent in the summer.
Duffy moved to Championship side Scunthorpe United on 20 January 2011 for an undisclosed fee, signing a two-and-a-half-year contract. He made his debut two days later, in a 0–0 draw at home to Burnley.
He moved to Doncaster Rovers in July 2013.
Duffy signed a two-year contract with Birmingham City in June 2014 after activating his relegation release clause at Doncaster Rovers. He made his debut as a second-half substitute in the opening-day defeat at Middlesbrough, and his first League start for the club on 27 September, in a 2–1 home defeat to Fulham; Duffy was substituted at half-time, at which point Birmingham were leading. After appearing only once more in the league by the end of January 2015, he spent a month on loan to League One club Chesterfield, where he made one start and two substitute appearances.
Before the start of the 2015–16 season, Duffy joined Burton Albion, newly promoted to League One, on loan until 2 January 2016. In pre-season, Burton manager Jimmy-Floyd Hasselbaink used him in a playmaker role, and he began the league season as a regular selection in the starting eleven. In the opening match, Scunthorpe goalkeeper Luke Daniels was sent off for elbowing Duffy in the head; the resulting penalty gave Burton a 2–1 win.
After the initial loan period expired, it was extended to the end of the season. Duffy completed the season having missed only one league match, against Walsall in February after twisting his ankle in training. He scored eight goals and provided numerous assists as Burton were promoted to the Championship as League One runners-up. His performances earned him selection in the PFA League One Team of the Year.
He was released by Birmingham at the end of the season, and signed a two-year contract with League One club Sheffield United.
