Last night at the 2025 Brad Fittler Medal in Sydney, Melbourne Storm U21s Captain Preston Conn was named NSWRL Jersey Flegg Cup Player of the Year.
Conn has enjoyed a standout season, playing a crucial role in helping Storm secure the 2025 Minor Premiership in the Jersey Flegg competition.
Conn has made 17 appearances in 2025 so far and has been outstanding with a 90% tackle efficiency, averaging 39 tackles per game, while also contributing over 1,345 running metres across the season.
Storm U21s Head Coach Mark Russell praised his captain’s consistency and drive, “He is consistent in everything he does for his team. He’s proud to be a Melbourne Storm player and has been relentless in chasing the opportunity here in Melbourne.”
Melbourne’s first final will be played in Week 2 of the Jersey Flegg Final series, with time and location to be confirmed following Week 1 results.
