One of the smallest footballers to play in the AFL, Bell was a rover for Southport when he was called up by Brisbane midway through the 1991 season. Bell had 16 disposals on debut, against Richmond at Carrara, but appeared in just seven more games for the Bears.[2] He was also a member of the reserves premiership winning team that season.
Bell continued to be involved in football after his playing career ended, as a development manager with AFL Queensland and as a player with Central Districts in South Australia.
In 2009, he joined the Gold Coast Football Club in the role Community Development Officer.
