Duckett was waived by Vancouver on November 23, 2011.[4]
Duckett signed with USL Pro team Harrisburg City Islanders on March 27, 2012.[5]

On February 20, 2014 Duckett signed with USL Pro club Charlotte Eagles.[7]
After the Eagles moved to the USL PDL, Duckett signed with USL side Sacramento Republic, before again moving to Charlotte Independence soon after on April 10, 2015.[8] Duckett left Charlotte after their 2018 season.[9]
