Cardy did not play any rugby until 1963 in his final year at Katoomba High School,[1] where he was school captain. He played a few games for the Blue Mountains Rugby Club during 1962 and 1963,Template:Sfn and later joined Drummoyne in 1965.[1]
Cardy switched to the other rugby code – rugby league in 1969. However, his wing-threequarters career never reached any great heights in rugby league after suffering a broken leg in the pre-season.
He died on 19 December 2021 at the age of 76,[1] and was survived by his three children.
