During a disappointing 2015 season for the Queensland Reds team, Frisby started seven matches at flyhalf due to the unavailability of injured star Quade Cooper.

On 7 July 2018 it was announced that Frisby was signed by Glasgow Warriors.
He made his first appearance for the Warriors in their 50 -17 demolition of Harlequins at North Inch, Perth on the 18 August 2018, even scoring on debut.
