A forward, he joined Birmingham from Staffordshire local football. He made his debut in the First Division on 29 November 1930, deputising for Johnny Crosbie at inside right in a game at Bolton Wanderers which Birmingham lost 2–0. Lane played once more that season,〔Matthews, p. 173.〕 but was unable to establish himself as a first-team player. He was released in May 1933 and joined Southend United of the Third Division South.〔 Lane played 177 games in all competitions for Southend in nearly five seasons with the club, scoring 58 goals at a rate of one every three games.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Harry Lane )〕 He was their leading scorer in the 1935–36 season with 17 goals,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Season 1935–36 )〕 and followed up with another 17 the next season, including two hat-tricks.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Season 1936–37 )〕 In March 1938, he moved up to the Second Division with Plymouth Argyle.〔 He was a regular in Plymouth's first team until the Second World War put an end to competitive football, though without scoring as freely as he had for Southend. He remained with Plymouth for a couple of months playing in the wartime regional league,〔 and later made guest appearances for Nottingham Forest, Northampton Town, West Bromwich Albion and Port Vale in wartime competition.〔 In May 1946, Lane rejoined Southend.
