AJ Brimson arrived at the Gold Coast Titans in 2013 at 15 years of age with big footballing dreams.
Yesterday, he signed a contract that will see him stay at the Titans until at least 2026, so to say he loves the place is an understatement.
Born in Brisbane before the Titans came into existence, Brimson now dons the number 1 famously worn by club legend, Preston Campbell.
Brimson completed his schooling at Keebra Park before graduating the 'Junior Titans System' and making his NRL debut in 2018.
His star has continued to rise since that time and he went on to make his State of Origin debut in 2020 and is now one of the most popular players on the Coast.
It has been a fantastic ride so far, but it is still only the beginning.
