17-year-old Chevy Stewart quits school to join NRL, debuts at GIO Stadium for Raiders.
Chevy Stewart quit school at 17 years old to pursue his NRL dream and on Sunday that gamble will pay off when he runs out at GIO Stadium for his debut.
Coach Ricky Stuart could've turned to Xavier Savage or Seb Kris to replace the injured Jordan Rapana at fullback. But instead he's putting his faith in Stewart - an exciting talent that has the rock star personality to match his catchy name.
Stewart was born and raised in the Sutherland Shire. He played for the Kurnell Stingrays before joining the Sharks, where he was named Junior Representative Player of the Year in 2022 after starring in their Harold Matthews team.
His talent caught the attention of several clubs but the Raiders won the race after a dinner with Stuart.
