Aubrey was a schoolboy sensation at Marist,

he was approached by various NRL clubs, but he
staved off their approaches to remain in Union,

Focusing on his career in the XV-a-side game
in 2021, Aubrey is taking the chance to learn as

as the Reds Academy coaches – former Reds
and Wallabies winger Paul Carozza and former
Australian Sevens coach Dale Robinson.

Torkington) have both really been helping me with
my game,” he said.
