Playing career
Early career
From 2010 to 2012, Green played for the St. George Illawarra Dragons' NYC team.[2]
2012
In round 2 of the 2012 NRL season, Green made his NRL debut for St. George Illawarra against the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs.[3][4] In March, he re-signed with the St. George on a two-year contract.[5] On 21 August, he was named at centre in the 2012 NYC Team of the Year.[6] On 23 September, he was listed as one of the top ten upcoming youngsters in the NRL in Lifestyle Uncut Magazine.[7]

On 27 October, Green re-signed with St. George on a one-year contract.[8]

On 3 May, Green played for the New South Wales Residents against the Queensland Residents.[9] On 18 August, he signed a one-year contract with the Manly Warringah Sea Eagles starting in 2016.[10]
2016
At Manly, Green played the first two games of the 2016 NRL season. He would spend the next three months in the reserves before some good performances in the second row saw him earn a recall for Manly's round 16 match against the reigning premiers North Queensland. Green played well in a hard fought 30–26 loss in Townsville and retained his spot in the Manly back row for their round 17 match against St. George Illawarra at Brookvale Oval. Green scored his first try for Manly (and the opening try of the game) as the Sea Eagles snapped a 7 game losing streak with a comprehensive 36–6 win.[11]
