Playing career
In 1995 Mead was signed by the new Auckland Warriors franchise and played for the Warriors Colts in the Lion Red Cup. He was part of the side that lost the Grand Final that year.[1]
He was signed by Warrington on a one-year deal in 1997 and played his first game for the club on the 21 January 1997.[2] However, in just his second match, on the 28 January, Mead suffered a serious knee injury.[3][4] He was later informed that the injury required surgery and in April he returned to New Zealand to undergo an operation.[5]
Mead returned to the Warriors in 1998 and was selected for the New Zealand Māori tour of the Cook Islands.[6]
