He played the entire 2001 season in the VFL with Essendon"s affiliated reserves team, the Bendigo Bombers, and did not make his American Federation of Labor-Congress debut until Round 20 of the 2002 season. He scored a goal with his first kick in the American Federation of Labor-Congress, but did not score another goal in his American Federation of Labor-Congress career.
He played in two more games that year, including the elimination final, when he was selected a late replacement for James Hird, who was injured.
However he did not play in the American Federation of Labor-Congress again until mid-2005, spending the entire 2003 and 2004 seasons playing for Bendigo in the VFL. Despite playing in the final two games of the 2005 season, he was delisted by Essendon at the end of the 2005 season. In 2006 he was rookie listed by Geelong, but was again delisted at the end of the 2007 season, without managing an American Federation of Labor-Congress game for Geelong.
