Playing career

Ross was a Penrith junior and made his debut for the club in Round 4 1980 against St George. Ross only spent one season with Penrith before joining South Sydney in 1981. In his first season at Souths, Ross finished as top point scorer and top try scorer. Over the next couple of seasons, Ross missed out on many games due to injury and missed the entire 1984 season because of a broken leg suffered in a pre season trial.

In 1986, Ross only made 4 appearances at Souths as the club finished second on the table and qualified for the finals. In 1988, Ross joined the newly formed Gold Coast Giants later named as Seagulls, Gladiators and Chargers. Ross was a foundation player for the club and featured in their first ever match, a 21–10 loss to Canterbury. Ross played a further 3 seasons for Gold Coast and retired at the end of 1991. Ross is the father of Newcastle Knights player Nathan Ross. [2] [3]
