--------------------------------------
Talented youngster Reuben Cotter missed three consecutive seasons between 2016-18 due to multiple ACL tears.
Cotter returned to action through the Queensland Cup with Mackay and made a fairytale NRL debut in Round 13 of the 2019 season.
After playing five top-grade games in his maiden NRL season, Cotter registered a further 10 in 2020, ending the year as an 80-minute hooker for the Cowboys.
Cotter started off 2021 on a high, starting at hooker for the Indigenous All Stars in Townsville.
The 22-year-old was one of the team best through the opening five rounds of the competition, highlighted by a 52 tackle and 156 metre performance off the bench against the Wests Tigers. Unfortunately, Cotter sustained a Liscranc injury in the match that would see him sidelined for the majority of the season.
Cotter agreed to a three-year contract extension which will see him with the club until at least the end of 2025.
