- Biography:
Dylan Edwards is an elite fullback and a cornerstone of the Penrith Panthers’ sustained success. Renowned for his work rate, consistency and toughness, he played a key role in the club’s four consecutive NRL premierships (2021–24).
A Panthers junior, Edwards was part of the 2015 NYC premiership team before making his NRL debut in 2016. He broke through as the club’s first-choice fullback in 2017, earning the Ben Alexander Rookie of the Year Award.
He has since developed into one of the game’s most reliable performers, highlighted by a standout 2022 season where he claimed both the Merv Cartwright Medal and Clive Churchill Medal. His resilience was on display during the 2021 finals series, playing through a broken foot in the run to the title.
Edwards debuted for Australia in 2023 and was part of a State of Origin-winning New South Wales side in 2024. He is contracted with the Panthers until at least the end of 2028.
