He made his Welsh debut on 1 November 1980 against the All Blacks at Cardiff and immediately a couple of bone crunching tackles had the crowd chanting his name at the age of only 19.

He went on to play for Leeds RLFC., Carlisle Border Raiders and and finished his rugby league at Salford RLFC in 1993.
