In 1930 Scourfield was selected for his one and only appearance for Wales in a game against France as part of the 1930 Five Nations Championship.
Under the captaincy of Guy Morgan, Scourfield made the trip to Paris to play the French at Stade Colombes.
The game took a turn for the worse when Scourfield collected a loose ball from the back and kicked it into touch.
His first appearance for the club was against Bradford Northern on 26 November 1932, and in 1933 he won a Cup Final winners medal against Warrington, in front of a record crowd of nearly 42,000 people.
Tommy Scourfield played fullback in Huddersfield's 8–11 defeat by Castleford in the 1934–35 Challenge Cup Final at Wembley Stadium, London on Saturday 4 May 1935, in front of a crowd of 39,000.
