Sykes, who was recruited out of the Victorian Amateur Football Association, played as a forward and ruckman for Fitzroy. He had two stints at the club and in between spent some time as captain-coach of Cobden, in the Hampden Football League.[2][3]

On 6 July 1963, playing at centre half-back, he was a member of the young and inexperienced Fitzroy team that comprehensively and unexpectedly defeated Geelong, 9.13 (67) to 3.13 (31) in the 1963 Miracle Match.

He was later both a state and league coach in Sydney.
