After an impressive 2020, a PCL injury restricted McGrath to 15 games in 2021. With Dyson Heppell’s move back to defence, the rising star is set to claim a regular place in the midfield. One of the club’s most talented and brightest prospects, McGrath’s decision-making and poise under pressure was a standout last season, averaging 22 touches. Will be hoping for an uninterrupted pre-season ahead of a big 2022 campaign.
