🏈 Veterans & Volunteers #3
CPL Mason 'Smithy' Smith
Veteran and Player
'I started playing at a young age, my first club was Bribie Island Rugby League Football Club - Warrigals where I played for 8 years and made the Sunshine Coast and Wide Bay squad, playing in the state championships. I joined the Army straight out of High School serving at 8/9RAR where I made the rank of Corporal and served a deployment overseas in 2016. After 7 years of full-time service I transferred to reserves late last year. In the last 2 years I've recently started playing rugby league again after a 5 year break joining the Army. I was lucky enough to play in the Brisbane 1st grade grand final with Pine Central Holy Spirit RLFC last year.'
What does Brisbane Veterans RLFC mean to you❓
'Brisbane Vets gives the opportunity for both current and ex-service members with similar experiences to come together and play a sport with a common goal. We will be making history as an all serving sports team in a civilian competition and see a future where we will make our mark within the veteran community. Rugby League has been a passion of mine since I was little and for it to be combined with another huge part of my life is a great and rare opportunity. I look forward to kicking off the season!'
