Tyrer was with Manchester City before joining Cheshire League side Mossley.[1] He worked as a plumber while with Mossley, until turning professional on joining Leeds United in September 1950. The £2000 fee paid by Leeds to Mossley was a record fee for Mossley at that time.[1]
He left Leeds in July 1954, joining non-league Peterborough United, but returned to the Football League with Shrewsbury Town in June 1955.[1] He moved to Aldershot in June 1956 and played over 200 times for the Shots before joining Hereford United in 1964. He later played for Fleet Town.
His brother Fred was a goalkeeper and also played for Mossley during the 1949–50 season.[1]
