2024 NRL Volunteer of the Year - Khalil Kouayder

Volunteers are the backbone of Rugby League clubs. Greenacre Rugby League Club recognises Khalil as a volunteer who goes the extra mile to ensure Rugby League at the club is growing and is an organised, positive place for players, volunteers and the community.

Khalil works closely with the Muslim community to share the joy of Rugby League with players he recruits and the community which supports them. He leads by example, always displaying the values of sportsmanship, respect and unity.

As club secretary, ground manager on game day as well as first aid officer, Khalil is always generous with his time. Wednesday night, Friday night and the weekends are dedicated to Rugby League but Khalil would not have it any other way, his enthusiasm is contagious!

Khalil is efficient, thorough and dedicated and his humorous approach ensures all tasks are completed to the best of his ability and people are smiling, happy and thriving.
