Born in Oxton, Cheshire, Hulme was educated at Birkenhead School and earned his first Cheshire trial while still a schoolboy.[1] He formed a half-back partnership with "Toggie" Kendall in matches for Birkenhead Park and Cheshire.[2]

Hulme debuted for England in the 1903 Home Nations, featuring in two fixtures. He played a match against Australia in Sydney while touring with the 1904 British Lions and the following year gained another two England caps.[3]
