Fox grew up in Ipswich, Queensland playing rugby league for the Brothers Rugby League Club Ipswich as a junior and attended Primary School at Raceview State school located in Ipswich.

Fox attended St Edmunds College in Ipswich, where he took part in a variety of sports, including cricket and baseball. Fox transferred to Anglican Church Grammar School in Brisbane to take up a rugby union scholarship.

He led the team on a tour to Wellington, New Zealand in September and October 2014, which featured a 50–15 win over the Fiji Schoolboys team. His successful switch of codes from league to union in a short time and becoming captain of the national schoolboy team has been described as "remarkable".
