In a bid to salvage his NRL career after a recent car crash, Brisbane Broncos star Ezra Mam has made the courageous decision to check into rehab.
The young player, facing rumors regarding his hefty $4 million contract, found himself in hot water following a car accident in Brisbane over the weekend.
Reports from news.com.au suggest that Mam, allegedly under the influence of drugs, was involved in a collision with an Uber driver.
The ramifications of this incident could potentially see Mam's lucrative four-year contract with the Broncos ripped to shreds.
Mam's management team has revealed to the Courier Mail that the 21-year-old wasted no time in seeking professional help, entering rehab voluntarily on Monday morning.
A statement released by Mam's representatives on Monday night confirmed his decision to seek assistance.
It's a tough blow for the talented young player, but seeking treatment is a crucial step towards redemption and recovery.
In the game of Rugby League, just like in life, sometimes we fumble the ball - but it's how we pick ourselves up and keep moving forward that truly defines us.
