While COVID-induced border shutdowns meant his arrival at Souths Logan Magpies was a stop-start affair, Kevin Locke is hoping this year’s Intrust Super season will mark a smooth new beginning for his rugby league career.
Locke lit up the NRL as a young fullback with New Zealand Warriors, producing an enviable highlights reel celebrating his footwork and his speed – and after a few detours along the way, he is now back playing the game his loves and focused on being the best he can be.
