Quickly developing into a fan favourite at the Dolphins\ufeff<\/a>, Jack Bostock is making a sizable impact, but his journey to the top was an unorthodox one.<\/p>\n

Sitting second\ufeff o\ufeffn the NRL's top try scorer list this season, the 194cm winger has earned a contract extension that will keep him at Redcliffe until the end of 2027.<\/p>\n

"I'm enjoying my footy under Wayne (Bennett)\ufeff and Woolfy (Kristian Woolf) and Fieny (Nathan Fien) and playing with all the boys in the top grade," Bostock told 9News on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

"They all instil a bit of confidence within me going out there."<\/p>\n

But his journey to the big time wasn't always meant to be this way, with the Wollongong-born star being discovered by accident.\ufeff<\/p>\n

"He was meant to go and watch Isaiya Katoa play for Penrith, but he was out with a broken hand, so he hung around and watched and he liked what he saw when I was playing, gave his dad a call," Bostock said.<\/p>\n

"The next few weeks, I was up here meeting with them.\ufeff"<\/p>\n

O'Sullivan's father is Dolphins recruitment guru Peter O'Sullivan.\ufeff<\/p>\n

\"Bostock<\/p>\n

Bostock has blossomed playing outside prized Dolphins recruit Herbie Farnworth\ufeff.<\/p>\n

"Herbie has\ufeff helped me a fair bit. He obviously started his career on the wing as well," he said.<\/p>\n

"He helps me a lot, especially in defence. He's a great talker out at training."<\/p>\n

Away from footy, the young star has developed a following on his Tik Tok page which features cooking.<\/p>\n

"I got a lot of spare time, living up here," he said.<\/p>\n

"I live by myself, with a few mates, so obviously no parents around to cook or clean for us, so you've got to fend for yourself.\ufeff"<\/p>\n

The Dolphins sit fourth on the ladder with eight wins to their name.\ufeff<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
