Noah Martin's rugby journey involved extensive travel; now, he faces ankle surgery after a tough match against the Tigers.
Many NRL dreams are built from countless hours in the gym and on the training paddock. Noah Martin's road to success came in a car.
Canberra's boom second rower may be ruled out for an extended period, requiring surgery on both ankles after his game against the Tigers last Thursday.
However, the young gun has never had it easy in his journey to getting on the footy field.
Martin, 21, spent more time travelling to training and games than he did playing in them.
After moving around Australia with his parents and two brothers, the family eventually settled in Eden on the NSW South Coast.
