Background

[edit]

Edwards was born in Penrith, New South Wales and raised in the Mid North Coast town of Pacific Palms. He played his junior rugby league for the Forster Tuncurry Hawks.[2][3]

Playing career

[edit]

In 2018 and 2019, Edwards played for the Sydney Roosters in the Jersey Flegg Cup.[4]

He would then play in the NSW Cup for the North Sydney Bears, making seven appearances during the 2021 season, before moving to the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs.[5]

Edwards made his first grade debut from the bench in Canterbury's 24–10 victory over the Newcastle Knights in round 20 of the 2022 NRL season.[6][7]

In April 2024 after playing 17 NRL matches with the club, Edwards was released by the Canterbury club, immediately signing a long-term contract with the North Queensland Cowboys.[8] Edwards appeared in 15 games for North Queensland in the 2024 NRL season as they finished 5th on the table. He played in both finals games for North Queensland as they were eliminated in the second week by Cronulla.[9]
