Playing career

Faull began his first grade career for North Sydney in 1919 and in the same year was selected to play for New South Wales against Queensland. In 1921 and 1922, Faull played in the premiership winning teams for the club but missed out on playing in North Sydney's 1922 grand final victory over Glebe. This would be the last premiership Norths would win as a club before exiting the competition in 1999.

In 1923, Faull was selected to play again for New South Wales in the interstate series against Queensland. This would be his final representative honor. Faull played with Norths up until the end of 1927 and at the time became one of the club's longest serving players. He died in 1966.[2]
