About the Medal

The Ken Stephen Medal - Man of the Year recognises the efforts of an NRL player who has not only achieved on the field but has committed time off the field to community projects. A player is nominated by their NRL club for going above and beyond in their involvement in charity work, youth development or community support.

The 2025 Ken Stephen Medal - Man of the Year nominees form the NRL Community Team of the Year.

This year will be the 37th instance that the Ken Stephen Medal will be awarded, with a host of worthy recipients receiving this prestigious award since Wayne Pearce won the inaugural medal in 1988, including Ryan James, Joel Thompson, Jonathan Thurston, Sia Soliola, Nathan Hindmarsh and Ronaldo Mulitalo.
