He was raised in Western Australia before moving to the eastern seaboard to join the Panthers in 2013, where he enjoyed immediate success winning the premiership with the NYC side.

His form earned him a call up for the NSW City Origin side in 2015 as well as making his test debut for the Fiji Bati in 2017.

Meanwhile, Panthers will play Eels at 8pm Saturday.
