Dane played in the Division 1 pennant side during season 2008-09 and 2009-10 for the Werribee RSL Bowls Club.

In season 2007-08, 2008-09 & 2009-10 Dane was a member of the State Junior Development Squad. He played for the Victorian Under 18 side against the ACT in 2007 and against Tasmania in 2008.
