From Origin camp to coaching staff

After hanging up his playing boots in 2017 with a premiership win at the Melbourne Storm, Myles has been honing his coaching skills alongside Billy Slater in the Queensland Origin camp. Now, he’s taking the next step in his rugby league journey, returning to Melbourne as part of their Jersey Flegg Cup coaching staff.

Nate Myles, a Rooster remembered

Roosters fans will remember Myles well. He burst onto the scene at Belmore in 2007, quickly becoming a fan favourite with his uncompromising style of play and relentless energy. After two years with the Bulldogs, he became a vital cog in the Roosters pack, giving his all in every contest. While a premiership eluded him during his time in Sydney, his contributions in the red, white, and blue are fondly remembered

Myles’ career spanned 13 seasons and five clubs, including the Bulldogs, Titans, and Sea Eagles. He captained the Gold Coast and achieved the ultimate success with a grand final victory in his final season at the Storm. His most enduring legacy, however, was forged in the cauldron of State of Origin.

Representing Queensland 32 times, Myles was the epitome of Maroon spirit. He was a warrior in the trenches, a leader who inspired his teammates with his actions. His battles with the likes of Paul Gallen are etched in Origin folklore, particularly that fiery clash in the 2013 Origin opener.

A new chapter begins

Now, with a wealth of experience and a deep understanding of the game, Myles is embarking on a new chapter. He’ll join forces with Mark Russell, who enters his third year at the helm of the Storm’s Jersey Flegg Cup side—a crucial stepping stone for young players aspiring to reach the NRL. It’s a chance for Myles to impart his knowledge to the next generation of players, to mould them into the tough, resilient competitors that defined his own career.
