He made his List A debut on 10 March 2021, for Victoria in the 2020–21 Marsh One-Day Cup.

At the end of the 2023-24 Sheffield Shield season and 2023–24 Marsh One-Day Cup he gave up his contract with Cricket Victoria to return to Australian rules football.

For Victoria he played 4 First-Class games, taking 6 wickets at an average of 32 and scoring 4 runs in 2 innings at an average of 2.
