Although recruited from Pascoe Vale, Greenshields had also played football in Coburg prior to arriving at Carlton. He was a reserve in Carlton's 1947 premiership team but did not take the field during the game, and was a reserve in all but three of his games while with Carlton. Greenshields played more when he crossed to St Kilda, being used mainly as a half back flanker.
