Jayden Blake

Jayden Blake is a former NSW and Australian Schoolboys star from Dubbo who moved to Sydney as a teenager in 2021 to craft a career in Rugby after starting the sport aged seven.

A winger, fullback or centre, Blake was part of Randwick's Shute Shield premiership-winning first grade team and has come through the NSW Waratahs Academy and Pathways system.
