One of the smallest footballers to play in the AFL, Bell was a rover for Southport when he was recruited to the Brisbane Bears in the summer of 1991 before then debuting midway through the 1991 season. Bell had 16 disposals on debut, against Richmond at Carrara and appeared in a total of 8 games for the Bears over the 1991 - 193 period.[2] In 1991, he was also a member of the Brisbane Bears Reserves premiership winning team that season in front of 75,230 people at Waverley Park.

Bell continued to be involved in football after his playing career ended joining the AFL as the Regional Development Manager with AFL Queensland and as a player with Central Districts in South Australia.

In 2009, he joined the Gold Coast Football Club in the role Community Programs Manager
