Born in Warren, New South Wales, Egan was the younger brother of Wallabies and Waratahs centre Ben Egan. He attended The King's School in Parramatta and played his club rugby for Eastern Suburbs.[1][2]
Egan earned state representative honours in 1936 and was one of the Wallabies centres chosen for that year's tour of New Zealand, where he featured in three uncapped matches, scoring a try on debut against Wairarapa-Bush.[1]
A grazier by profession, Egan farmed in Mount Harris near Warren and served in New Guinea during World War II. His son Jack was King's School captain in 1959 and became a well known cricket historian.[1][3]
