- Biography:
Jahrome capped off his best year as an NRL player in 2021 by winning Storm’s Player of the Year and Members’ Player of the Year awards, as well as being named Kiwis Player of the Year.
Hughes lived up to expectations in 2022, cementing himself as one of the competition’s best playmakers.
Hughes’ game was stepped up to another level in Round 6, pulling on the captain’s hat in absence of Jesse Bromwich and Christian Welch, leading the squad to a 34-18 win over the Sharks. The milestones continued in Rounds 19 and 21 when he celebrated 100 NRL and Storm games, respectively.
In the mid-season Representative Round, the New Zealand native joined the 2022 Kiwi International Test squad. Hughes will again pull on the black jersey as he lines up for New Zealand in the 2022 Rugby League World Cup.
Hughes has since re-signed with Storm until the end of 2026, where he is sure to continue to flourish as a league-best halfback.
He is part of the club’s Leadership Group and a key figure in the team’s on-field leadership.
Jahrome is sponsored by Carpet World Bairnsdale and The Di Quinzios.
