Playing career[edit]

Melbourne Storm[edit]

This premiership was later stripped in 2010 due to the club's multiple and deliberate breaches of the salary cap.[5][6]

Brisbane Broncos[edit]

On 12 November 2009 it was announced he had signed with the Brisbane Broncos on a two-year deal.[7]

Anderson signed with the Wildcats in 2013, joining the club for the 2014 season, originally on a one-year contract.[8]

He retired from rugby league at the end of the 2016 season.[9][10]
