Played at school then club rugby after school – Still play masters Rugby occasionally.
When did you get involved with Brothers Sunshine Coast?
We came to the club at the start of 2019 season.
What do you love about your team?
My favourite thing about this team is the fact that a group of players who didn’t all know each other at the start of the season are now great team who work well together and thoroughly enjoy each others company. The players who have been in the side for a number of seasons have done an outstanding job of welcoming the new players. The support from all the players’ families is also great, and creates a very positive environment to play Rugby in. There’s a strong sense of camaraderie amongst the U13 players.

The best thing about the Brothers club is that it has a great family feel.
