Hi my name is Chris, I’ve been involved in Gridiron here in Australia since 1994. I currently play for the Gold Coast Stingrays, my position is linebacker. I have been fortunate to have been voted Defensive MVP on 3 occasions in the Gridiron QLD league and in 2009 was named in the Gridiron QLD 25 year All Star team.
