This NAIDOC Week, we’re proud to introduce Nyah, one of our Under 9 Red players.
β€œHi, my name is Nyah and I play for the Wests Under 9 Red team. I am a proud Wiradjuri girl. My family is from Dubbo and Wellington, and I was born on Awabakal Country.
My favourite sporting idol is Nathan Cleary because he is a gun!

I am most proud of my family and everything they have achieved in life.
When I’m not playing rugby league, I love doing arts and dancing.
To me, NAIDOC Week is about giving other people the chance to learn about my Aboriginal culture and heritage that I’m so proud of.”

My favourite place on Country is the beaches in Newcastle because they are so beautiful.
I’m most proud of my family, my Aboriginal and Māori heritage, my sister Vogue’s memorial mural at Ford Oval, playing my seventh year at Wests, and representing the Hunter PSSA rugby league team last year and again this year.
When I’m not playing rugby league, I love spending time with my family, hanging out with my friends, shopping, playing touch footy and hip hop dancing.

This NAIDOC Week, we’re proud to introduce Theo, one of our Wests Reds Under 10s players.
β€œHi, my name is Theo and I play for the Wests Reds Under 10s. I am a proud Gomeroi birray (boy) from Moree and Toomelah, and I’m also proud to have been born on Awabakal Country, which I proudly call home.
I connect with my culture by playing barefoot footy with my cousins and swimming at the beach on Awabakal Country. Whenever I get a break from sport, I love heading home to Bogga and Toomelah on Gomeroi Country, putting my feet in the river and spending time with all of my cousins. My favourite time of the year is the Rugby League Knockout, where I get to watch my Dad play.
When I’m not playing rugby league, I love spending time with my family. I have three sisters and a baby niece who I love hanging out with. I also enjoy going to school, playing PlayStation with my Uncle, attending cultural events and watching the NBA.
My favourite sporting idols are Latrell Mitchell and my Dad. They have both played professional sport and are proud of their culture, which inspires me every day.
What I’m most proud of is being part of the oldest living culture in the world.
To me, NAIDOC Week is about bringing mob together, celebrating our deadly culture and being proud of who we are.”
Thank you for sharing your story, Theo. We’re proud to celebrate your culture, your family and the pride you bring to our club.

This NAIDOC Week, we're proud to introduce Kaylen, a talented member of our 17 Division 1 team.
---------------------------------------------
"Hi, I'm Kaylen, I'm 16 years old and I'm a proud Wiradjuri person with family connections to the Wailwan and Worimi communities.
My sporting idol is the one and only Greg Inglis. I was lucky enough to meet him, spend some time with him and have a laugh, which is something I'll always remember.
As a proud Indigenous person living in Newcastle, I love spending time on Country because it strengthens my connection to my community and my family ties.
I'm most proud of my achievements and the hard work I've put into my life, especially in football. My focus and commitment have shown me that I can achieve success when I put my mind to something. I'm also really proud of gaining an apprenticeship.
When I'm not playing league, you'll usually find me hanging out with my mates and having fun.
To me, NAIDOC Week is about celebrating and connecting to my culture and being proud to be an Indigenous person living and working on Awabakal Country."

Thank you for sharing your story, Kaylen. We are proud to celebrate you and the strength, pride and culture you bring to our club. πŸŸ’πŸ”΄πŸ’ͺ

πŸ–€β€οΈπŸ’› NAIDOC Player Profile – Bentley πŸ–€β€οΈπŸ’›

Hi, my name is Bentley and I play for Wests Under 8 Red.

I am proud to be from Worimi Country.

My favourite sporting idol is Tolutau Koula because he can run straight through people.

My favourite place on Country is the ocean because it is filled with dolphins, turtles, whales and many different species of fish. Spending time on the water with my Dad is one of my favourite things to do. My Dad is teaching me about our culture, our mob and our traditions.

I am most proud of always improving and never giving up.

Away from rugby league, I love riding dirt bikes, playing with my friends, learning art and learning to use a spear.

To me, NAIDOC Week is a celebration of the stories, art and survival of Aboriginal culture.
