McCallum made his debut for Canterbury in the club's inaugural year, making five appearances in a season in which the side only managed to win one match.
In 1938, McCallum played in the NSWRL grand final victory over Eastern Suburbs, which was the first premiership for the club.
This time he played in reserve grade for the entire season before leaving the club once again.
McCallum's younger brothers Reub and Arthur also played for Canterbury.
