Bailey was born in the New South Wales town of Molong and made his representative debut in 1956 playing for Central West in the Country Week carnival. By the season's end, the Armidale School-educated centre had made his way into the New South Wales side, starring with two tries in a win over Queensland at North Sydney Oval.[2]
In 1957, Bailey gained selection to the Wallabies squad for the 1957–58 tour of Britain, Ireland and France, with Jim Phipps, Jack Potts and Saxon White the other centres picked. He was used regularly throughout the tour, making 17 uncapped appearances, but did not feature in any of the Test matches.[3]
