Schofield was raised in the New South Wales town of Young and was recruited to North Sydney via Dapto.[2]
Playing careeredit
A utility back, Schofield played two seasons of first-grade at North Sydney. In 1978 he featured in a variety of positions and was the club's first choice goal-kicker, amassing 127 points for the season. He was a member of the North Sydney side which won the 1978 Challenge Cup, a post season competition.[3] The following season he was replaced as goal-kicker by new recruit Rod Henniker and spent the entire season as a fullback. He was one of North Sydney's captains in 1979.[4]
In the 1980 NSWRFL season he was picked up by Penrith, where he played as a centre and winger in what was his only year at the club.[5]
