Merritt is rated as one of the greatest Rabbitohs to have ever played for the Redfern-based team, with his 218-games for Souths, placing him fourth on the club's list of all-time games.
His 146-tries ranks him third on the all-time club try-scorers list.
Merritt played two seasons with Cronulla in 2004-05.

He played for the Prime Minister's XIII and Indigenous All Stars several times and had one game for New South Wales at State of Origin level.
