- Biography:
Newcastle-born Grant Anderson first played rugby league at just five years old, setting him on a path that would eventually lead to the NRL.
Working his way through Melbourne’s affiliate club, the Sunshine Coast Falcons, Anderson was plying his trade in the Queensland Cup when a run of injuries in the Storm squad opened the door for his first-grade debut in 2022.
Despite being an eleventh hour replacement, the outside back made an immediate impact - crossing for a double against the Roosters to become the first NRL debutant in more than 50 years to achieve the feat.
Anderson went on to tally nearly 50 NRL games for Melbourne, including 24 appearances in 2025 where he scored 11 tries and averaged close to 140 run metres per game.
In late 2025, he was heralded as a “valuable addition” to the Broncos when he signed a two-year deal covering the 2026 and 2027 seasons.
