Frank played  37 games at the Club on the wing for the 1st XV  between 1964 –’68  scoring 22 tries. In 1966 he played for East Wales against New Zealand.

Following his days with Cardiff RFC he went North where he played 310 games for St. Helens scoring 176 tries. In 1975 he played for the Wales Rugby League Team in the Rugby League World Cup.
