Biography:

A product of the Panthers junior development system, Cleary was a member of the club's premiership-winning NYC side in 2015. He was handed his NRL debut at 19 years old. In 2017 Cleary finished the year as the leading point-scorer in the NRL (228 points) and was the youngest player in over a century to claim the title. He also became the youngest ever player to score 200 points in a season. His meteoric rise continued in 2018 as he made his Origin debut and helped guide NSW to a series victory over Queensland. A year later he beat Michael Gordon's club record for most points scored in a match, achieving a 34-point haul (four tries, nine goals) against Newcastle. He claimed Dally M Halfback on the Year in 2020 and 2021. He won the 2021 Clive Churchill Medal for man of the match in the grand final. Following another premiership in 2022, he made his Test debut for Australia - leading the Kangaroos to World Cup glory.
