Cable, a Noongar man,[1] is the son of Barry Cable. He made just one appearance with West Coast, at the WACA Ground in a win over Footscray where he had seven disposals.[2] A wingman, he had initially been listed as an emergency but was named in the team after Chris Waterman was omitted for being late to a team meeting.[3]
In 2004, Cable launched an Australian rules football magazine, Westside Football, covering the AFL and WAFL.[5]
Post-football career

In 2016, he was appointed CEO of Indigenous Construction Resource Group (ICRG), an indigenous contractor set up to create job opportunities in the resources sector for regional Aboriginal communities. ICRG went into liquidation in May 2019.[6][7] Cable later co-owned Resource Operations and Maintenance Services.[8]
