Cowboy #273
A proud product of rugby league heartland in Mackay, Mitch Dunn came through the Cowboys Academy and NYC programs before graduating to the NRL squad in 2018.
He made his NRL debut in a 26-12 victory over Manly at Brookvale Oval in Round 13 of the 2018 season.
Dunn made nine appearances in 2019 before emerging as one of the club’s first choice second rowers in 2019.
He played 20 games in 2021 and entered 2022 as a key piece off the interchange for Todd Payten, but had his season ended by an ACL injury in Round 2.
Dunn has enjoyed a remarkable positional progression during his time at the Cowboys. A five-eighth throughout his junior career and NYC tenure, Dunn moved to the second-row upon graduating to the NRL squad. After 26 starts on the edge, Dunn was moved to the middle of the field as a ball-playing lock in 2021 by Cowboys Head Coach Todd Payten.
The Mackay Brothers junior signed a one-year contract extension for the 2023 season.
