He worked in Belfast in 1993 doing further training in trauma and obtaining his fellowship with the Royal College of Ireland. He returned to Australia and completed his orthopaedic training in 1999 in the Newcastle training scheme. He then completed a shoulder fellowship with Professor Sonnabend in Sydney.
