- Biography:
Drinkwater made his NRL debut for the Melbourne Storm in Round 25 in 2018 and was earmarked as a first grade regular in 2019 before suffering a pec injury in the Storm’s final trial game.
He made the move to North Queensland mid-way through the 2019 season and made an immediate impact for his new club, scoring a try on debut against St George Illawarra.
The Terrigal product was the star of the 2020 NRL Nines in Perth and was named Player of the Tournament after leading the Cowboys to the title.
Drinkwater spent the early stages of his career at fullback, but was shifted to five-eighth in 2020 after the arrival of Valentine Holmes. He thrived in the halves, finishing fifth in the NRL with 19 try assists.
Drinkwater is signed through the end of the 2021 season.
