Fuller was a right-handed lower-order batsman who made useful runs in domestic South African cricket and a bowler of right-arm medium-fast cutters.

[2] With a further five-wicket haul a month later against Natal, Fuller was picked, after just nine first-class games, for the South African tour of Australia and New Zealand in 1952–53.

He had a quick success, taking the wicket of opening batsman Arthur Morris with the score at just 2, but then was one of four bowlers who conceded more than 100 runs each as the Australians totalled 530.

Fuller played in only three first-class matches all season, taking just five wickets, and Neil Adcock emerged as the new spearhead of the South African Test attack.

[7] In England, Adcock was regarded initially as the leading South African opening bowler, but his lack of control in the Tests meant that he was eventually dropped.

[7] The 1955–56 season was Fuller's most successful in South African domestic cricket, with 23 wickets in five Currie Cup matches, including his career-best innings figures of seven for 40 for Western Province against Transvaal.
