He made his
NRL debut in round 4 of the
1998 NRL season, starting from the interchange in
Melbourne Storm's first game at
Olympic Park. He made four appearances in total that season. However, he spent most of the 1998 season playing with Melbourne's feeder team, the
Norths Devils, before requiring a knee reconstruction. This turned out to be his final game for Melbourne as he was released by the club in October 1999. ==Coaching career==
