He played in the NRL for the Northern Eagles, Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks and Bulldogs clubs, as well as in Super League for the Warrington Wolves, usually at hooker.
Sullivan joined the Wolves following a highly publicised revelation that he had a gambling addiction for many years and the lucrative contract he was offered by the Super League club would go a long way in paying off his gambling debts.[citation needed]
Sullivan returned to the NRL in 2008 to play with the Bulldogs on a two year contract.
After finishing his contract with the Bulldogs Sullivan signed as Captain/Coach for the Orange Cyms in Group 10 Country Rugby League.
