He played his first County Championship game in 1986, against Essex, debuting as a lower-order batsman.
He also played List A cricket for Devon, and for the Warwickshire Second XI, and in 1994 played for Marylebone Cricket Club. Rudd was a lower-order batsman, who commonly batted at number nine thanks to the existence of tailending pair Devon Malcolm and Ole Mortensen.
