He moved back to New South Wales after the 2006–7 season for family reasons and captained St George to successive First Grade premierships. He returned to Victoria for the 2009–10 season, during which he won his third Ryder Medal.

Rummans is one of the most prolific winners in Australian Grade/First Class cricket history.
