His Super League days have taken him from Warrington, Wakefield Trinity and Hull FC
Domic scored the winning try at the first local derby to be played in the Super League between Hull F.C. and their local rivals Hull Kingston Rovers. Hull F.C. reached the 2006 Super League Grand final contested with St. Helens and Domic played as a centre, scoring his side's sole try in their 4–26 loss.

Post-playing
editIn 2010 Domic's artistic ability led him to be selected from a field of six artists to design the Indigenous All Stars' jersey, as well as Johnathan Thurston's custom headgear, for the annual NRL All Stars matches.[8] Much of his own knowledge in this area has been passed down to him from his grandmother, Ivy Domic. Through his fame from his playing career, he has visited children at many schools to introduce them to Aboriginal culture and his work has been exhibited at the Rebecca Hossack Gallery in the U.K.[9]
