Duke was born in Inverness, Scotland. He joined Sunderland from Redby Community Association in 1997, and received a squad number in the 1999–2000 season. He was an unused substitute in a defeat by Wimbledon in that season's League Cup, but that was the closest he came to a competitive first-team appearance. He moved to Swindon Town in 2001, and went on to make more than 200 league appearances. He joined Darlington in 2005, but left the club by mutual consent in March 2007. Duke went on to play non-league football for clubs including Durham City, Consett, Sunderland RCA, Jarrow Roofing and Esh Winning.
After football, Duke went into e-commerce: as of 2017, he was chief marketing officer of a Teesside-based digital agency.
