With just a few games under his belt, Bradman Best has already made a name of himself as a future NRL powerhouse.
Signed to the Knights until the end of 2022, Best has shown his raw talent despite being hampered by injuries in 2019.
Best pushed for his NRL claim all season, dominating the Jersey Flegg competition by scoring seven tries in just five appearances in the under 20s.
An intimidating presence for any opposition, Best forced his way into the NRL side by the end of the season and ran for over 100 metres in his first game.
With NRL experience and another full pre-season under his belt, Best is set to explode into 2020.
