Dylan Egan makes his Dragons Den debut this week and what a rollercoaster of a year he has had. From NSW Cup to a NRL first grade debut, he put it all on the line and quickly made himself a very important part of The Red V roster.

With his season on the up, heartbreak came in round 11 when Dylan suffered a season ending injury with a ruptured ACL. With rehab in full swing he remains positive and will be fit and ready to light up 2026.
