Primrose was born in the Sydney suburb of Carlton and attended Manly Public School.[2]
A fly–half, Primrose got his international opportunity in 1931 when he won a place on the Wallabies' touring squad for New Zealand. He was selected from Manly. As Tom Lawton was unavailable to tour, Primrose started the opening three fixtures as Wallabies fly–half, but had fallen out of favour by the time they played the All Blacks, with utility Jack Steggall preferred. He never received another call up, but continued with Manly for several seasons and became club captain.[3]
