From 1988 to 1991 he made 46 first-grade appearances for Parramatta in the NSWRL, as a centre, five-eighth and full-back.

In the 1992 NSWRL season, Liddiard joined reigning premiers Penrith and played four first-grade games.[2] He was a passenger in the fatal car crash which killed his teammate Ben Alexander, who was driving.[3]
