Canberra Raiders are buzzing with excitement as young gun Noah Martin gets set to make his mark in the sky blue jersey for NSW.
The promising development player will make his debut for the Blues in the Under 19's State of Origin clash at the iconic Leichhardt Oval on Thursday night.
Having earned the prestigious Don Furner Senior NSW Country Scholarship in 2022, Martin has been honing his skills in the Raiders system and has secured a development contract for the upcoming 2024 season.
The dynamic backrower has already made his mark in the NSW Cup with seven solid performances, showcasing his abilities both in attack and defence.
During the off-season, Martin seized the opportunity to learn from the seasoned veterans in the Raiders' forward pack, striving to emulate their high standards and work ethic.
His dedication and hard work have not gone unnoticed, earning him a spot in the prestigious NSW Blues squad.
Martin's debut for the Raiders in the Pre-Season Challenge against the Eels was nothing short of spectacular, as the 18-year-old powerhouse notched a memorable try to cap off his impressive individual performance.
With a bright future ahead and a hunger for success, Noah Martin is poised to light up the field in his maiden NSW Blues appearance.
