Towards the end of the 1928 season he played two games for the Brighton First XVIII in the Victorian Football Association: the first against Port Melbourne in the final home-and-away game for the season on Saturday, 18 August 1928,[7] and the second in the season's second semi-final (Brighton lost to Coburg by three points). In 1929 he was, again, playing for Caulfield Grammarians (who had been relegated to B Grade), and was selected to play for the Victorian Amateur Football Association team against the South Australian Amateur Football Association.[8]
He played his first match for the Melbourne First XVIII against Essendon in round 9 (Saturday, 29 June 1929) of the 1929 season: he kicked two goals.[9]
He was a member of the Melbourne Second XVIII—playing at centre half-forward he kicked the first goal of the match—that won the 1931 premiership, beating Geelong Seconds by 8 points.[10]
