Born in Clonroche, County Wexford, Tector was educated at Kilkenny College and Trinity College Dublin.[1]
Tector led Kilkenny College to a Leinster Senior Cup title in field hockey and was Dublin University rugby captain for their centenary season in 1953–54.[2] While playing his rugby with Wanderers, Tector achieved Ireland selection, making three appearances at fullback during the 1955 Five Nations. He was also a Leinster representative player.[1]
A schoolteacher by profession, Tector was headmaster of Sandford Park School in Ranelagh, Dublin.[1]
Tector's grandson Craig Ronaldson, a son of daughter Jackie, played fly-half for Connacht.[3] One of his sons, Heatley, has fathered three cricketers, Harry, Jack and Tim, all of whom have represented Ireland at Under-19s level or higher.[4]
