I loved rugby from a young age and have dedicated my life to being a professional Rugby League player. We had a really talented group of players in my days at Brooksbank and with my community club, Siddal ARL.

Fortunately, I had great role models and coaches in my career—all I had to do was commit to something I loved. I dreamt of playing in front of packed stadiums representing my club and country, which has become a reality.

Morgan’s message is:

“show determination and resilience,”

I recently saw this quote and realised it holds true for me. The greatest accomplishment is not in never failing, but rising again after you fall. Show determination, resilience and continue to follow your dreams. Nothing worth having in life is given to us on a plate.
