Nowra five-eighth represented Country Firsts and NSW in 1967 before making the 1967–68 Kangaroo squad, when he chosen ahead of Bob Fulton. Played five Tests on tour and two more during the 1968 World Cup. Joined St George in 1968 at the same time as Wallaby five-eighth Phil Hawthorne, which meant he often played in the centres with Hawthorne in the No. 6 jumper during his early years at Kogarah. Was Saints’ regular five-eighth in 1971 and 1972, and for the first eight rounds in 1973 until he was slowed by a knee injury. He played a Test in New Zealand in 1971 (with Fulton in the centres) and in that year’s Grand Final against Souths.

Played a total of 101 games for St George
