He won premierships with the St George Dragons and represented at both state and national levels.

Club career

Quinn attended Iona College, Brisbane, he was Queenslander junior and played his first senior rugby league with Brisbane Brothers. He signed as a centre with the St George Dragons in 1977 and was a member of the 'Bath's Babes' side who won the premiership that year. He played in both the historic 1977 Grand Final draw and replay against Parramatta. Two years later Quinn played in the Dragons' triumph over Canterbury in the 1979 Grand Final.

Leaving St George in 1983 after seven seasons, Quinn returned to Brisbane in 1984 but then ventured back to Sydney the following year for a final season with Cronulla.

Representative career

In 1980 he was selected in the Australian national side to tour New Zealand and made his sole Test appearance in Australia's 15–6 win in Auckland which wrapped up the two-Test series. Although selected for Queensland, Quinn was unavailable for the inaugural State of Origin match in 1980 because of injury and had to wait a further two years to play for the Maroons.
