A former rugby union representative scrum half (playing for NSW in 1960 and as a reserve for the Wallabies behind Ken Catchpole in 1960 and 1961), was signed by St George in the 1961–62 off-season as a successor to Bob Bugden. He played halfback in four Grand Finals, 1962 to 1965. Never truly established himself as Saints halfback, sharing the role with Billy Smith until Smith (who often appeared in the centres) became entrenched in 1966. Best season was 1963, when he played 19 first-grade matches and scored Saints’ first try in the Grand Final. Later coached Corrimal in the Illawarra competition

Played a total of 68 games for St George
