Born in 1950, Julien was raised in the Trinidadian village of Carenage. He went on to attend St. Mary's College in his teenage years. As an allrounder who played as a right handed batsman who bowled left arm pace and spin, Julien eventually made his first class debut, at the age of 18, for South Trinidad against North Trinidad in the Beaumont Cup. A year later he played his first game for Trinidad and Tobago at the senior level. During the 1969–70 season he became a regular for the side in regional domestic competitions. During 1970 Julien joined up with English county cricket club Kent. At Kent he at first played, for two seasons, with the club's second XI outfit. During 1972 he made his debut, earning Kent's 152nd cap, for the side's first XI. Thereafter Julien was unfortunately hampered in terms of his appearances for the club, by a set of recurrent injuries and the occasional tour with the Windies. As a result, he had only four full or mostly full seasons at Kent. In so doing he surpassed 400 first class runs and picked over 40 wickets during each of those said seasons with the club.[3][2][4][5]
When his playing days came to a close, Julien worked for Trinidad and Tobago's Ministry of Sports and embarked upon a coaching career. He was later diagnosed with throat cancer and eventually recovered from such.[4]
