Today I am announcing my retirement at the conclusion of the 2025 season.
It’s hard to put into words what this game means to me.
I’d like to thank my Junior Club, the Yarrawarrah Tigers for giving me an opportunity to fall in love with this game. The memories and friendships I created at my Junior club still live with me today and I am very grateful for that.
To the teams I played for, The Cronulla Sharks, NZ Warriors, North QLD Cowboys and Sydney Roosters I am forever grateful for the opportunity you gave me to fulfil my dreams of playing in the NRL.
I’d like to thank all of the fans who have showed love and support to me throughout my journey. I have always enjoyed connecting with people through our shared love of Rugby League.
To all of my team mates I played with, thank you for being there for me throughout the highs and lows that is the rollercoaster of the NRL. We shared some incredible memories together and this will be the thing I miss the most.
To my coaches, football staff and club staff thank you for all of your support throughout my career. I have been lucky to work with some incredible people and build some great relationships.
To my management, Gavin and Chris at Pacific Sports Management we have shared a long journey together. Thank you for your guidance and support throughout my entire NRL career.
To my beautiful wife Marissa and our kids Myra, Cairo, Miami and Malibu, thank you for your unwavering support throughout my career. You have been there through it all, on and off the field, every win, every loss, we did it together.
When I think about the young kid who was footy obsessed from Yarrawarrah, who just wanted to play footy with his mates, who stood on the family hill waiving his flag, who had dreams of making it to the NRL and who had to earn everything he got, my heart and soul are filled with love and gratitude.
The game owed me nothing, but it gave me everything.
