Cowboy #261
Mareeba product Ben Hampton enters his sixth season in Cowboys colours in 2022.
The super utility moved to North Queensland prior to the 2017 season after spending the first four years of his NRL career in Melbourne.
Hampton quickly became a regular in Paul Green’s side in his first season at the club and was a key contributor in the Cowboys’ fairytale run to the grand final.
Throughout his five campaigns in North Queensland, Hampton has spent significant time at every position in the backline aside from halfback as well as hooker and bench utility.
Hampton celebrated his 100th NRL game in Round 11 of the 2020 season.
He is contracted through the end of the 2022 season.
