Banks was primarily a five-eighth, like his relative Bob Banks, a Kangaroos representative player.[a]
In 1966, Banks was selected from Newcastle to play for Australia in the 1st Test against Great Britain at the SCG and scored a try for the Kangaroos, but still lost his place to John Gleeson for the remainder of the series.[2]
Banks played first-grade for North Sydney from 1967 to 1969.[3]
