Career

Born in the northeast of England, Levitt began his career in Scotland with Dundee.[2] He returned home to Silksworth to play for the village team and was signed by Division Three side Brentford in the summer of 1920.[2] Levitt made six appearances at the beginning of the 1920–21 season (Brentford's first in the Football League),[3] but lost his place in the team to Alf Amos and had his contract cancelled in December 1920.[2] He returned to the northeast and played for non-league sides West Stanley, Thornley Albion and Wingate Albion.[2]
