- Biography:
A crafty hooker, Jayden Brailey arrived at the Knights for the 2020 season after a successful stint at Cronulla.
With maturity beyond his years and speed to burn out of dummy-half, Brailey has already been earmarked for future representative honours.
A ruptured ACL in just his second game at the Club left him on the sidelines for the entirety of 2020, however Brailey will return stronger and fitter than ever this year.
His ability to sniff out a try complimented with his top notch service out of dummy half will see the young gun become a fan favourite in 2021.
ABOUT ME:
Who am I: Jayden Brailey
Who is most important to me: My family and my girlfriend
Greatest off-field achievement: Buying my first house
Something you wouldn’t know about me: I’ve walked the Kokoda track, back in 2017
I’d be lost without: My family and my partner
What I love most about living in Newcastle: The beaches, and all the people so far
I grew up in: Menai, in the Shire
People would describe me as: I’m pretty shy at first but when you get to know me I can be out there. A pretty good bloke
As a kid my hero was: My Dad, for sure
They were my hero because: He did so much for me. I think mum use to work big hours when I was really young, so he used to take me to the park. He taught me a lot growing up about footy
The last book I read was: I’m currently reading Paul Gallen’s book. I think my name might pop up somewhere throughout it, so I’m trying to read up
My favourite thing to do in Newcastle is: I’m still looking around to be honest. The boys have shown me Lotus café, I like going to Lotus. Or even just going down to the Surf house at Merewether
My greatest on field moment: My debut, and when I played in the World Club Challenge in 2017 over in England
