He had made is Test debut against the touring England team at Melbourne from March 08 - 16, 1929. But unfortunately he played his last only the following year, also against England at The Oval in London, from August 16 - 22, 1930. The fact that his home State, Queensland, was not admitted to the Sheffield Shield until 1926, made it harder for him to gain recognition. Even though he had first attracted attention by taking 81 wickets at an average of 9, on a tour of New Zealand in 1920. Percy Hornibrook eventually retired from club cricket in 1940 after 71 First Class matches.
