Jack Howarth will become player number 232 when he makes his NRL debut for the Melbourne Storm on Thursday night against the Broncos.
After moving to Brisbane at a young age to attend Brisbane Boys High School, Howarth was identified as an extremely promising talent at a young age and since signing with the Storm has gone on to represent the Australian Schoolboys and U19 Maroons.
Capable of playing second-row or in the centres, the 20-year-old has impressed for Storm feeder club the Sunshine Coast Falcons over the past two seasons, showcasing a strong defence and a potent running game.
