Ryley Jacks will make his NRL debut tonight, becoming Storm's 177th player.

The 24-year-old will pull on the purple jersey for the first time in Storm’s Round 1 clash against the Bulldogs.

It will be the ultimate reward for Jacks who has taken the long road to realising his rugby league dream.

The Brisbane-born playmaker spent two years with the Sydney Roosters NYC squad between 2011-12 before spending the last four seasons toiling away in both the NSW and Queensland Cup comeptitions.

Jacks is also a qualified carpenter by trade.

He caught the eye of Storm recruiters last season with standout performances for the Club’s feeder side Sunshine Coast, eventually resulting in him being named the Falcons’ Player of the Year.

Jacks also holds representative honours, having played two games in 2015 for Canada, his father’s country of birth.
