Foster, a national surfing champion, had stints with St. George and Eastern Suburbs in the 1940s. He played for St George in the 1942 NSWRFL season and marked his first–grade debut with two tries in a win over Newtown. In 1945, Foster moved on to Eastern Suburbs and was one of their wingers in that year's premiership–winning team.[1]
During World War II, Foster served as a warrant officer in the Garrison Artillery.[2]
