Glohe picks up Student Player of the Year Award

The voting for the Scotland Rugby League Student Player of the Year was extremely tight, with two Newcastle-based players standing out at the Student 4 Nations last summer.

Last year’s winner stand-off Matt Hogg of Newcastle University in England was beaten to the award by Nick Glohe from Newcastle University in Australia.

Glohe produced a string of great performances to help Scotland to their best 4 Nations result finishing 2^nd behind England.

Glohe will receive the Roy Kinnear Award, named after the famous former dual-code British Lion who made a big money move from Heriots FP to Wigan in 1927 and scored the winning try for the Cherry and Whites in the first Challenge Cup Final to be held at Wembley.

Glohe is the first player based in Australia to pick up the Kinnear Award. Matt Hogg, Murray Mitchell, Charlie Emslie and Luke Westman all received votes from the Management team. Hogg, Glohe, Mitchell and Westman all received call ups to the Scotland squad following the Student 4 Nations and made their debuts in the European Championships.
