He was signed to South Sydney by their patron Dave Spring and moved to Sydney at the start of the 1947 season.
Like many top Australian players, Churchill attracted the attention of English clubs, and was signed by Workington Town for £10,000.

Under captain-coach Jack Rayner, South Sydney reached the 1949 season's grand final against St. George and Churchill played at fullback in the Rabbitohs' loss.
Souths reached the grand final again the following season, this time against Western Suburbs, and Churchill played fullback in the Rabbitohs' victory.

Churchill played his final Test for Australia on the 1956–57 Kangaroo tour.
He captained South Sydney in 1957 and captained-coached them in 1958, which would prove his last season playing for the Rabbitohs.
