Playing career

A Norths junior from the Cremorne club, Cottle played nine seasons with North Sydney between 1940-1951.

War service saw Cottle miss the 1943, 1944 and 1945 seasons. He later went on to captain North Sydney and was a popular clubman during his time at the club.

Cottle was also selected to play for New South Wales on three occasions during 1947, and also represented City Firsts between 1947-1948.[1]
