In a bold move reminiscent of a last-minute Hail Mary pass, former Melbourne Storm fullback Ammaron Gudgeon has decided to tackle a new challenge by joining forces with the St George Illawarra Dragons.
This switch, akin to a player switching positions on the field, comes after Gudgeon bid farewell to the Storm following the end of the 2024 NRL season.
Despite the Dragons coming close to making the playoffs last season, they are gearing up to charge towards victory in the upcoming season under the leadership of coach Shane Flanagan.
However, they will have to do so without star players Ben Hunt and Zac Lomax, who will be absent due to Origin duties.
Gudgeon's move to the Dragons will see him don the jersey for their NSW Cup team in 2025, showing his dedication to climbing the ranks in the rugby league world.
As he hits the training field with the first-grade squad, he is determined to push himself to new heights while recovering from setbacks like shoulder surgeries that rocked his time at the Storm.
In an exclusive chat with Zero Tackle, Gudgeon opened up about his journey in the sport, emphasizing the challenges he's faced and his unwavering drive to reach the top in the NRL.
This signing is a sign of new beginnings for the talented fullback, as he prepares to take the league by storm with his new team.
