A member of the inaugural St George first-grade team that lost to Glebe on 23 April 1921. Lapham quickly made a name for himself for his speed, to the point that, after starting as a back-row forward, in his second first-grade season he was moved briefly to the wing. He toured New Zealand with NSW in 1922 and was a regular in the NSW team for three years in the mid ’20s, when he played with Souths. Lapham returned for a final season with the red and whites in 1929

Played a total of 53 games for St George
