Emerging Playmaker Jett Cleary Delivers Standout Performance for Warriors
26 Jul
Summary
- 20-year-old Jett Cleary, younger brother of Nathan Cleary, starred for the Warriors in their 68-6 thrashing of the Rabbitohs
- Jett set up tries and scored a double in the 12-try demolition
- Jett was promoted to the Warriors' NSW Cup side earlier this month
In a weekend of family drama in the NRL, the younger Cleary brother, Jett, has stolen the spotlight with a standout performance for the New Zealand Warriors' NSW Cup side. The 20-year-old playmaker was heavily involved in the Warriors' 68-6 thrashing of the South Sydney Rabbitohs, setting up tries and crossing for a double of his own in the 12-try demolition.
Jett Cleary, the son of Ivan and younger brother of Penrith Panthers star Nathan Cleary, was promoted to the Warriors' NSW Cup team earlier this month to cover for an injury. Since then, he has yet to taste defeat as the high-flying Warriors continue to dominate the competition, winning 18 of their 19 matches this season, including the past 14 in a row.
While it seems unlikely that Jett will crack the NRL this season, barring any injury catastrophe for the Warriors' first-grade side, the club's brass are keeping a close eye on the young star's progress. An NRL debut at some stage in 2026 seems more than possible, as the league prepares to welcome another Cleary number seven to the fold.
