Biography
Versatile Moses Mbye burst onto the scene with Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs late in 2011, scoring two tries in the opening 15 minutes of his debut National Youth Competition match against Manly-Warringah, at Brookvale Oval.
Mbye, who has Gambian heritage, played junior rugby league for Noosa Pirates, and played halfback and hooker in his early days with Canterbury, when he also worked as a teacher's aide.
Mbye captained Canterbury's NYC side, before going on to represent Queensland Under 20s, in 2013 and 2014. In 2013, he played five-eighth for the Junior Kangaroos in their 38-26 win over the Junior Kiwis in Sydney.
