Warriors
He made his first grade debut for the Warriors in Round 25 of the 2003 season against the Sydney Roosters. Since then he has played games at Fullback, Wing and Centre, as well as his preferred position of Five Eighth. When not selected for the first grade side he has represented the Auckland Lions in both the Bartercard Cup and NSWRL Premier League. He was one of four players who played in every game for the Warriors in 2007. Currently he is viewed as a centre option and has a strong partnership with winger Manu Vatuvei.
In 2009 he extended his Warriors career until to 2012 season, meaning that he will spend over ten years of his career at the Warriors. His 2011 season was ruined by injury as he tore his ACL in Round 3. He therefore had to watch his side play in the 2011 NRL grand final from the sideline.
