Hudson Young has opened up on his troubled teenage years and what motivated the Raiders star to get his life back on track and achieve his dream of playing in the NRL.
Young had just won the Harold Matthews Cup as a rising star at the Knights when he tested positive for a banned substance as a 16-year-old.
The store-bought supplement led to an 18-month ban and while unable to play footy the teenager found trouble plenty of trouble - which saw him locked up twice.
