Edmed made his first grade debut in round 3 of the 1988 season and played in the losing grand final that year against Canterbury. The following year, Edmed started as prop in the 1989 grand final against Canberra where the tigers lost 19–14 in extra time.
Edmed stayed with Balmain up until the end of the 1995 season and then joined North Queensland for one season in 1996 at the height of the Super League war before retiring.
Edmed was reportedly paid $725,000 to join the North Queensland side which at the time was a substantial amount of money in rugby league for a player.[2]
