Boyd captained the Brisbane Broncos from 2017 to 2019.

Early life

Boyd was born at the Gold Coast Hospital, in Queensland, Australia on 17 July 1987. He was raised by his single mother throughout most of his childhood.[4]

He began playing junior football at a young age for the Parkwood Sharks, which led to playing at halftime during a Gold Coast Seagulls match in 1993. He later switched clubs to the Mudgeeraba Redbacks.[5] Boyd attended Robina State High School during this time but switched schools to the famed rugby league nursery, Palm Beach Currumbin High School, in Year 10. It was at this point Boyd's mother became ill and he started living with his grandmother, as well as spending periods of time living with football friends' families. Following graduation in 2004, he was not recruited by any NRL teams and decided to repeat Year 12 at PBC in the hope of garnering attention from NRL teams. The decision turned out to be a fruitful one with the Brisbane Broncos offering Boyd a scholarship, followed by a $20,000 contract for the 2006 NRL season. Boyd was questioned by police in 2009 relating to an alleged sexual assault in a Brisbane nightclub.[6]

Playing career

In 2005, while playing for Palm Beach Currumbin, Boyd was selected at fullback for the Australian Schoolboys team.[7][8] He then debuted for the Burleigh Bears in the Queensland Cup. After playing for Burleigh, Boyd was signed by the Brisbane Broncos. He later said, "I was a bit scared of leaving home as an 18-year-old but Brisbane was always my favourite club since I was a little fella. I had to move into the Broncos' house and was a pretty shy, quiet kid so didn't want to leave the family and different things but after a week or two they made me feel welcome."[9]

2006

In round 1, Boyd made his NRL debut for the Broncos, against the North Queensland Cowboys,[10] scoring a try on debut in the Broncos 36–4 loss at Suncorp Stadium.[11] Playing on the wing for the majority of the season, Boyd got a chance at his preferred position of fullback for a number of games after the regular fullback, Karmichael Hunt, went down with injuries. At the end of the regular season, Boyd won the Broncos' Rookie of the Year award.[12][13] Boyd played on the wing for the Broncos in their 2006 NRL Grand Final 15–8 win over the Melbourne Storm.[14] Boyd played in 27 matches and scored 11 tries in an impressive debut year in the NRL.
