Waterhouse initially played for Horsham in 1922[3] before moving to Ballarat Imperial in 1923.[4] He was selected to represent the Ballarat League team that played Broken Hill in June[5] and shortly afterwards secured a permit to move to Geelong Association in the VFA.[6] Waterhouse played with Geelong Association until Round 1 of the 1925 season, after which he transferred to South Melbourne where he had been training.[7] He only managed two games with South and within two months had moved again, this time to Port Melbourne,[8] his third senior club in the one season.
