He is one of two New Zealand bowlers to achieve a hat-trick in Test matches. He is one of only three players, along with Maurice Allom and Damien Fleming, to have taken a hat-trick on Test debut.

Making his first-class debut at 33,[1] he played for Otago from 1975-76 to 1977-78, and for Wellington from 1978-79 to 1980-81. In his fifth match he took 9 for 93 in the first innings against Northern Districts,[2] and he finished the 1975-76 season with 42 wickets at 20.13.
