Brothers’ prop Jaiden Christian has made a profound impact in his first season as a starting premier grade player.

Christian has helped propel Brothers into the top four after eleven rounds of the 2022 season.

The front rower is thriving in his new starting role after spending last season coming off the bench and recovering from injury.

“I broke two bones in my hand which kept me out for half the season but I played the back half coming off the bench,” Christian told Rugby News.

“First game I was probably a bit nervous starting and even playing that whole eighty minutes was probably a first as well. There were a lot of firsts that day but I got used to it pretty quickly.”

Christian has had the opportunity to play alongside his brother Mosiah who joined Brothers this season after a stint with UQ.
