Club career

Gemmell was born in Glasgow and played for Duntocher Hibernian and Clyde before joining Sunderland in 1900. He made his debut for Sunderland on 8 December 1900 against Sheffield Wednesday in a 1–0 win at Roker Park. He was at Sunderland in two different spells; in 1900–07 and 1910–12 respectively, separated by a stay at Leeds United.
