Like his older brother Mike, David joined North Adelaide and worked his way up through the Colts (Under 17s) and the Thirds (Under 19s). At a young age he was recognised as having all the attributes of a fine player - fast, an excellent mark, and a solid ground player who could handle any issue.
Whilst playing for the Colts, David won both the 1966 SANFL McCallum Medal and NAFC award as the Colts Best and Fairest Player. He was also selected in the 1966 Colt’s State Team.
Other awards included the Seconds Best First Year Player in 1968 and League Most Improved Junior in 1969. David was a penetrating half back who regularly put North into attack with his speedy rebounding style. He was highly regarded and played in the 1971 premiership side after missing the Second semi-final through injury. Similarly, he played in the 1972 Champions of Australia victory after missing the final series through injury.
