Johnny Urquhart was a wartime guest player for Exeter City during 1944/45 when, as the situation eased, a number of games were organised to constitute the first football played by the club since 1939. He later played over 150 league games for Hearts, scoring regularly, before performing similarly for Raith Rovers where he was later a director. 

Johnny turned out for Exeter City whilst on the books of  Heart of Midlothian and made his first appearance for the Grecians in a 2-2 home draw against Plymouth Argyle in January 1945.

After the war he returned to Hearts and made 156 league starts (48 goals) between 1946 and 1955. After winning the Scottish League Cup in 1954, he eventually left Tynecastle to play for Raith Rovers where he enjoyed 173 league outings whilst scoring 53 goals.

After retiring from playing Johnny became part of the background staff at Raith Rovers taking several roles including coach, director and finally president.
