He finished second in St Kilda's goal-kicking, behind Darrel Baldock.

Due to family reasons, Payne returned to Tasmania after just one season on the mainland. He won William Leitch Medals in 1965 and 1966 to become the first Hobart player to win it back to back. A premiership player again in 1966, Payne spent the 1969 and 1970 season as captain-coach.

He was a regular Tasmanian interstate representative, appearing in a total of 16 matches, including the 1966 Hobart and 1969 Adelaide Carnivals. Payne retired at the end of 1973 but continued his coaching career at Kingston.
