His league debut came the same season, and although not a first-team regular he managed to score 21 goals in 47 league games for the Gulls.

In July 1957 he moved to Exeter City for a fee of £1,500 and was to have 3 successful seasons with the Grecians, scoring 49 times in 105 league games. He left Exeter in August 1960 on a free transfer, joining Port Vale, but stayed only one season, playing 12 league games in which he scored 3 goals. His final move to a league side came in the July 1961, a free transfer taking him to Lincoln City for who he scored 3 times in 7 league games to bring down the curtain on his league career, lating playing for non-league side Cheltenham Town

After retirement Calland returned to Torquay and ran the Torbay Cab Company. He died in May 1995 after a long illness and was survived by his widow Mary, eldest son Carl (who now runs the taxi company), daughter Natasha and youngest son Tyrone.
