Newcastle Knights forward set to tackle new challenge overseas
In a move that echoes the journey of many a rugby league warrior, a strapping forward for the Newcastle Knights has decided to pack his bags and take his talents overseas after just one season with the club.
Hailing from the Canberra Raiders, the young gun forward has answered the call of adventure.
After showcasing his skills in 14 gritty battles for the Knights' NSW Cup squad, second-rower Clay Webb is gearing up to make his mark across the pond in the United Kingdom for the 2025 season.
Signing a one-year contract with the Featherstone Rovers in the RFL Championship, this 22-year-old rising star is primed to make his mark on the international stage.
With a spot in the 2023 NSW Cup Team of the Year under his belt, Webb has already cemented himself as a formidable edge-forward to watch.
Now, he's ready to make a splash on foreign soil and etch his name in rugby league lore for the next 12 months.
"I'm absolutely stoked to ink this deal with Featherstone.
It's a club drenched in history and bursting with the same hunger for success that fuels my own fire.
I'm champing at the bit to jet off to England and get down to business," Webb expressed with a grin.
"I thrive on pushing my own limits, and this move is just the challenge I need.
It's a whole new ballgame for me - a new country, a new culture, and a new brand of rugby to sink my teeth into.
I can't wait to hit the ground running and show what I'm made of," Webb declared with the steely resolve of a seasoned league veteran.
