A strongly built Midfielder, he didn't progress as expected, nevertheless managed some fine games with the Saints and was noted for his creative handball.

In 2001, whilst playing for his suburban club Scoresby, he suffered a broken leg and due to the onset of gangrene, following infection, had his lower leg amputated, after an on-field mishap.

His record still stands, when 18 years later in the opening round of 2010, Fremantle's Michael Barlow vs Adelaide at Subiaco Oval compiled 33 disposals (13 Kicks, 20 Handballs) on AFL debut.
