A half forward, Squire played 145 games for the Roosters between 1991 and 1998 establishing himself as one of the leading players in South Australia.
In 1999 he left North Adelaide and joined Sturt to "experience something new" and went on to win successive Magarey Medals in 1999 and 2000, cementing his place among the all-time greats of the league and becoming the first Sturt player to win the medal in successive years.
He played his first SANFL Grand Final for Sturt in their 9-point loss to Port Adelaide in 1998, and was a member of the historic 2002 Sturt side which defeated defending premiers Central District by 47 points (13.14 (92) to 6.9 (45)) at AAMI Stadium to win the club's first flag since 1976.
Sturt teammate Josh Deegan and club trainer Bob Marshall were killed in the blast.
