Biography

Souths fullback, a great attacking player, had six premiership-winning seasons with the Rabbitohs (1925-29 and 1931-32). Righton was NSW rep in 1927 but was one of four 'guest' players chosen for Queensland in a promotional match in Dubbo in 1930. Switching to Newtown in 1933, Righton played in the centres in the Blue Bags' final win over St George.
