Originally from Lismore, New South Wales, Patch picked up a contact from Western Suburbs in 1956 and stayed with them for five seasons until the end of 1961.
Patch was a fierce forward and enforcer for Wests during this period, and played in two losing grand finals: 1958 and 1961. He represented New South Wales on three occasions in 1957 and 1959. After retiring from Sydney, Patch joined Yass as a Captain-coach for some years.[2]
He lived in retirement in the New South Wales north coast town of Yamba,[3] and died there on 17 August 2015, aged 82.[4][5]
