Background
Graham was born in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia to a Glasgow-born father and a mother from Coventry.[2]
He played his junior rugby league for the Coogee Wombats and Maroubra Lions,[3] before being signed by the South Sydney Rabbitohs. He completed his Higher School Certificate at Marcellin College Randwick in 2017.[4]
Playing career
Early career
In 2016 and 2017, Graham played for the South Sydney Rabbitohs' NYC team.[5][6] Late in 2016, he played for the Australian Schoolboys.[7]
2017
In February, Graham re-signed with the Rabbitohs on a contract until the end of 2019.[8] In round 22 of the 2017 NRL season, he made his NRL debut for the Rabbitohs against the St. George Illawarra Dragons.[9][10] He wasn't named in the original 21-man squad that NRL teams are required to pick a game day 17-man squad from, but was allowed to play after the Rabbitohs sought and were granted an exemption by the NRL to include him after a late injury to Robert Jennings.[10]
Graham was named in Scotland's squad for the 2017 World Cup at the end of the season,[11] but withdrew in order to get a full off-season of training.[2]
2018
In Round 9 of the 2018 season, Graham scored his first NRL try in the Rabbitohs' 36-18 win over the Newcastle Knights at McDonald Jones Stadium.[12] Graham made a total of 16 appearances for Souths in 2018 scoring 7 tries as Souths reached the preliminary final against arch rival Eastern Suburbs but lost the match 12-4 with Graham playing on the wing.[13]
2019
In Round 3 of the 2019 NRL season, Graham scored 2 tries as Souths defeated the Gold Coast 28-20 at ANZ Stadium. In Round 19 against St George, Graham scored a try after the siren had sounded as Souths won the match 20-16 after being down 16-14 with a minute remaining.[14][15]
In Round 21 Graham scored a hat-trick in a 26-16 loss to Melbourne Storm at Central Coast Stadium.[16] He was selected at number 4 in Freddy's Team of the Week following his try scoring effort.[17]
On 7 October, Graham was selected on the wing for the U23 Australian team.
