Lye was a product of rugby league in the Illawarra.[2]
A five-eighth, Lye starred with two tries for New South Wales in a win over Queensland at Lang Park in 1969 and subsequently won a place on the Australian squad for a tour of New Zealand, where he was kept out of the Test line-up by Denis Pittard.[3] He began competing with Parramatta in 1970 and the following pre-season took over the club captaincy, but had to relinquish it to Ron Lynch when the league season began, following a player's vote.[4]
