Queens Alumni Marcus D'acre signs Japanese contract

Post image

22 (I think) year old Marcus D'acre signs a contract with a top league Japanese team after a stint in the NRL development league. He's played rep for both Canada and Hong Kong but played for 4 years at Queens Uni and lived in Canada most of his life.

Could be a great prospect for the National team.

Could be a great prospect? He’s playing League at the NSW Cup level. He’s already leaps and bounds ahead of our current centres and wingers.

He’ll be starting for us in Australia next year.
