How a Former NRL Player Became a Mortgage Broker

Matt Frawley is a mortgage broker at Shire Home Loans and a former professional rugby league player. After more than a decade across the NRL and Super League, Matt has now stepped into broking full time; bringing the same discipline, resilience and work ethic that kept him in professional sport for 11 years.

Matt talks honestly about finishing as a professional athlete, losing the daily structure of sport, and starting again in a completely different industry.

If you're a broker, athlete, business owner or anyone navigating a major career transition, Matt’s story is a reminder that the next chapter does not need to be rushed. It does need discipline, support and a willingness to do the reps.
