Background[edit]

Edwards was born in Penrith, New South Wales and raised in the Mid North Coast town of Pacific Palms. He played his junior rugby league for the Forster Tuncurry Hawks.[2][3]

Playing career[edit]

In 2018 and 2019, Edwards played for the Sydney Roosters in the Jersey Flegg Cup.[4]

He would then play in the NSW Cup for the North Sydney Bears, making seven appearances during the 2021 season, before moving to the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs.[5]
