[2] Digby was born in Teignmouth in Devon and started his football career at nearby Dawlish Town before joining Exeter City in August 1949.
He made his first-team debut during the 1951–52 season, going on to make 31 appearances in the Football League Third Division South.
Described as "quick on his toes", he made an encouraging debut against Colchester United on 23 September, setting up the winning goal for Henry Horton.
