After a season in which he won a State of Origin series for NSW, earned his first Kangaroos jersey and won a premiership ring, it would appear Latrell Mitchell has ticked off everything on his to-do list.

But there is another dream, one that appeared to have eluded him, that the Roosters superstar is keen to fulfil next season – playing alongside his brother in the NRL.

Latrell’s older brother, Shaquai, was a surprise inclusion in the Roosters’ top 30 squad for the 2019 season. His addition raises the prospect of the Mitchells fulfilling a lifelong ambition to play together in first grade.

“I’m grateful to have him by my side, I wouldn’t be here without him because I know he’s been through half the journey I have,” Latrell Mitchell told Fairfax Media.
