    The recently-turned 21-year-old was having ongoing headaches, before tests revealed his diagnosis.

    He'll undergo intense chemotherapy at Liverpool Hospital, southwest of Sydney next week.

    The prop moved to Australia in 2014 and has progressed through the ranks at Cronulla and was on a train and trial contract for the opportunity to break into the Sharks' top-30 NRL squad.
