Titans Debut: Zane Harrison Set to Shine Against Roosters

Gold Coast Titans coach Josh Hannay has named local junior Zane Harrison for his NRL debut in Friday night's blockbuster clash against the Sydney Roosters. The 19 or 20-year-old playmaker will partner regular halfback Jayden Campbell in the Titans' halves for the round 19 fixture.

“That’s always been the dream to play NRL...”
— Zane Harrison

A Pathway Success Story

Harrison has been embedded in the Titans' pathways system since the age of 15. His junior career includes:

  • Palm Beach Currumbin State High School (rugby league program)
  • 2024 Peter Sterling Medal winner
  • NSW Under-17s representative
  • Player of the Match in the 2022 Andrew Johns Cup Grand Final

Despite attracting interest from at least six rival NRL clubs, Harrison chose to remain with the Titans in 2024. He is currently contracted to the club until the end of the 2027 season.

Praise from Influential Figures

Kieran Foran (Manly Sea Eagles interim coach and former Titans mentor):

"He’s a great young player... He’s been a gun schoolboy coming through..."

Keano Kini (Titans fullback):

"He’s going to be an up-and-coming half... he’s a pretty special talent."

The Match-Up

Friday night's encounter sees the Titans host a formidable Roosters side at Cbus Super Stadium. All eyes will be on the Harrison-Campbell halves combination as the young debutant takes his first steps on the NRL stage.
