A South Grafton junior, Lawrence was in the St. George District during 1942 and turned out for the St. George club for a few games in that season. He replaced the first grade half-back Alf Cox due to a broken collarbone, in the 1942 Grand Final. He played a total of three first grade games during 1942, and did not appear in first grade again due to war duties.[2] He later returned to his local area after the war and went on to star for the South Grafton Rugby League club between 1946-1956 and represented Upper Clarence during his playing career.
Note: His surname was often spelt incorrectly in the press as 'Laurence'.[3]
South Grafton Rugby League Club named Eric Lawrence in their team of the Century in 2014. [4]
