] . A South Sydney junior, Root started playing first grade for the Rabbitohs in 1923, becoming a mainstay in the side in 1926. That year he first tasted premiership success with the Rabbitohs, who also won the following two years' competitions. He toured Great Britain with the 1929-30 Kangaroos. Root spent the following season with Newtown before returning to the Rabbitohs and playing in the back-to-back premiership-winning Souths sides of 1931 and 1932. In 1935 he was signed by St. George and played in the record-breaking 91-6 win over competition newcomers Canterbury-Bankstown before later becoming the club's captain-coach.
