Background
While attending Xavier Catholic College Ballina in 2005, Aubusson played for the Australian Schoolboys team.[2]
Career
Aubusson played in the 2006 NSW Cup grand final for Newtown, who were the feeder club for the Sydney Roosters at the time. Newtown would lose the final 20-19 against Parramatta at Stadium Australia.[3]
In the 2009 NRL season, Aubusson played 17 games as the club finished last on the table for the first time since 1966.[4]
Aubusson was part of the Roosters' sides who won 3 consecutive minor premierships in 2013, 2014 and 2015 but failed to reach the grand final in the latter two seasons. In 2017, Aubusson made 25 appearances for the club as the Roosters made the preliminary final but fell short of a grand final appearance losing to North Queensland 29–16. In 2018, Aubusson was part of the side that won its fourth Minor Premiership in six years. Aubusson then played in the 2018 NRL Grand Final in which the Sydney Roosters defeated Melbourne 21-6 winning their 14th premiership and Aubusson's second.[5][6]
In round 4 of the 2019 NRL season, Aubusson scored 2 tries as the Roosters defeated Brisbane 36–4 at the Sydney Cricket Ground.[7] On 19 August 2019, Aubusson signed a one-year contract extension with the Roosters, through to the end of 2020.[8] Aubusson played in the club's 2019 NRL Grand Final victory over Canberra at ANZ Stadium. Aubusson only played 12 minutes of the game before he was taken from the field with a knee injury. It was Aubusson's third premiership victory as a player.[9][10] In round 13 of the 2020 NRL season, Aubusson became the third Sydney Roosters player to play 300 games. Aubusson celebrated by scoring a try in his team's 24–16 victory over St. George at WIN Stadium.[11]
