Biography

A utility player, Wade grew up in the small South West Queensland town of Charleville. Most of his first-grade appearances at St. George came as a winger, but he was also capable of playing five-eighth and elsewhere in the back-line. [2] [3]

Wade debuted for St. George in 1990 and scored the winning try in the club's win over Canterbury in round 17, which in turn caused him to injure a hamstring. [4] Not featuring again that year, he remained with St. George for two more first-grade seasons, amassing 19 games in total. [1]

Wade returned to Toowoomba where he played, captained and coached the Newtown Lions in the Toowoomba Rugby League competition throughout the 1990's.
