Floyd played seven games in 1978, aged only 17, but didn't appear at all in the 1979 VFL season.[2] He had his best year at Geelong in 1980 when he played 22 games, the last of which was a preliminary final.[2] During the season he averaged just under 20 disposals a game and was Geelong's third most prolific goal-kicker with 25 goals.[2] A rover, he was a member of Geelong's reserves premiership team in 1981.
Midway through the 1982 season, Floyd crossed over to Collingwood but would only spend one more year at the club.[3]
He held the position of Head of Boarding at Mazenod College in Western Australia from 2015-2021.
