- Biography:
St George Illawarra back-rower Jackson Ford became an inaugural member of the Dragons' development player squad ahead of the 2018 season.
Ford was the Dragons' Under-20s Player of the Year in 2017 in what was his first season in the competition. Making his feat even more impressive was the fact he missed the first six games of the year.
Ford made his NRL debut in Round 21, 2019 against the Gold Coast Titans and played every remaining NRL game that season. He was named the Dragons' Canterbury Cup NSW Player of the Year at the 2019 presentation evening.
Ford progressed to the Dragons' Top 30 in 2020 and was re-signed for a further two seasons, until at least the end of the 2022 season.
