He attended Newington College (1906–1915) and St Andrew's College within the University of Sydney.

He served with the First Australian Imperial Force as an artillery gunner in World War I and at the conclusion of the war was selected to be part of the Australian Imperial Forces cricket team which played 28 first class matches in Britain, South Africa and Australia.

He played in 20 Tests between 1920 and 1926 and held the Australian 10th wicket partnership record with Arthur Mailey, set in Sydney in 1924/25 against England until broken by Phil Hughes and Ashton Agar on 11 July 2013.
