A half back flanker, Lambert played with Fitzroy for nine seasons and won their best and fairest award in his first season, sharing it with Bill Walker. He struggled to hold his place in the side during the second half of his career and missed out on playing in both of the two premierships Fitzroy won while he was at the club.
