He was educated at Rugby School, although he did not represent the college cricket team. Seymour later became an Ensign in the 16th Regiment of Foot, before transferring to the Rifle Brigade in 1861.
He was promoted to Lieutenant in 1866, before retiring from military service in 1869. In the same year as his retirement from the army, Seymour made his first-class debut for Lancashire against Sussex at the Royal Brunswick Ground in Brighton.
This was the only first-class match he played for Lancashire. The following year Seymour represented Hampshire in a single first-class match against his former club Lancashire, at Old Trafford.
