The 22 year old started playing for the Umina Bunnies when he was five years old and says its "a dream come true" signing his first NRL contract. 

"Such a surreal feeling for me and my family at the moment. It's something I've been working towards for a fair few years now and to finally do it feels so exciting".  

Nicho was first noticed by Melbourne when he trained with them for the pre-season and he says the club has "such a great culture".
