A wicketkeeper-batsman, he played 52 first-class matches, mostly for Western Australia, between 1963/64 and 1968/69.[1] He toured South Africa with the Australian team in 1966–67, but did not play in any of the Test matches.[2]

After his playing career ended, Becker coached club and junior state teams, and served as a state selector.[2]
