Durdin was originally drafted by North Melbourne in the Australian Football League (AFL) with their first selection and sixteenth overall in the 2014 national draft.[1] He made his debut in the forty-two point loss against Greater Western Sydney at Blundstone Arena in round three of the 2017 season.[2]

Durdin was delisted by North Melbourne at the end of the 2020 AFL season after a mass delisting by North Melbourne which saw 11 players cut from the team's list. Following his delisting he signed for the Glenelg Football Club in the South Australian National Football League.[3]

Durdin was selected by the Carlton Football Club with their first selection in the 2022 mid season draft.
