In a shock twist reminiscent of a last-minute try in the dying moments of a grand final, North Queensland Cowboys winger Kyle Feldt has announced his departure from the club at the conclusion of the 2024 NRL season.
Feldt, who has etched his name in the history books as the club's top try scorer with 213 games under his belt over 12 seasons, has always been a local hero and a true blue Cowboy.
Alongside Jake Granville, the only other remaining member of the 2015 premiership-winning squad, Feldt has been a stalwart of the team and a key player in their rise to glory.
As one of only ten players to reach the 200-game milestone for the Cowboys, Feldt has earned a spot among the elite life members of the club.
His departure comes as a surprise, considering his recent declaration to Zero Tackle that he was eager to continue his career with the Cowboys into 2025, citing his peak performance on the field.
In a move that has left fans scratching their heads like referees deliberating a controversial call, Feldt's decision to part ways with the Cowboys has undoubtedly sent shockwaves through the Rugby League community.
Only time will tell where the talented winger will hang up his boots next, but one thing is for sure - the Cowboys will have big shoes to fill in the wake of his departure.
