Kieran Foran backs Jaylen Brown’s blockbuster move to Newcastle Knights
Kieran Foran, a veteran of 17 years in rugby league, has shared his thoughts on the future of young star Jaylen Brown. Foran, who recently retired from international duty, reflected on his career and Brown's potential. Meanwhile, Brown's future has been the subject of much speculation, with a significant move to the Newcastle Knights on the horizon.
Foran's favorite moment in a Kiwi jersey was winning the Pacific Cup in his final game. His teammates honored him with a haka performance after the victory. Foran, who experienced numerous highs and lows throughout his career, praised Brown's lack of overthinking as a strength in his playing style.
Brown was instrumental in New Zealand's Pacific Cup triumph. He was named man of the match in all three wins, including the final against Samoa where he scored nine tackle busts and three try assists. Despite his impressive performance, there has been no reliable information confirming a 10-year, million-dollar contract with Newcastle. However, recent reports suggest he will join the Knights in 2026 on a $13 million deal. Foran believes Brown can handle the pressure of such a move and has the potential to become the world's best five-eighth.
Kieran Foran's retirement marks the end of an era for New Zealand rugby league. His insights into Jaylen Brown's playing style and potential highlight the young star's promise. As Brown prepares for a significant move to Newcastle, Foran's confidence in his ability to handle pressure and achieve greatness bodes well for the young player's future.
