The Kingsgrove Colts junior has long been a standout at junior level for the club and was part of Illawarra’s reserve grade double-crown last season whilst still eligible for NYC football.
Along with Jacob Host and Luciano Leilua, Sele is one of several young-guns under lock and key at the Dragons and is hopeful of cracking the top-grade in 2017.
“I was pretty excited to see my name in the 21,” Sele said.
“It’s my goal this year to get a crack and make my [NRL] debut.
“Growing up at Kingsgrove I’ve come through Harold Matts, SG Ball and 20s to now playing [NSW] Cup, I’m just working my way up slowly, and working hard on the little things to become a first-grade player.
“Hopefully I do eventually get that call up but I’ve just got to concentrate each week on playing my best footy.”
