The Canterbury Bulldogs have scored a major coup by securing the signature of Queensland's rising star, Nate Thompson.
The 17-year-old speedster is making waves in the rugby league world, touted as one of the fastest prospects around.
Known for his lightning pace on the field, Thompson is already a state-level track and field athlete representing Queensland and has also donned the green and gold for the Australian Schoolboys in rugby union.
With his sights set on a future in the NRL, Thompson has committed to a three-year deal with the Bulldogs.
Starting off in the lower ranks, he is expected to make his mark and eventually earn a spot in the first-grade squad in the upcoming seasons.
The move down south comes on the heels of Thompson's stint with the Sunshine Coast Falcons in the Cyrill Connell Cup in 2024, where the team finished in tenth place with a modest two wins from six matches.
This signing is a testament to the Bulldogs' commitment to nurturing young talent and building a formidable team for the future.
With Thompson's raw talent and determination, he is set to make a big impact in the world of rugby league, bringing a touch of Queensland flair to the Canterbury ranks.
Watch this space as Thompson takes on the challenge of making a name for himself in the tough and unforgiving arena of professional rugby league.
