The NRL celebrates its annual Indigenous round this week, with the aim of highlighting social issues affecting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

Each club will don a unique jersey designed by Indigenous artists, and each stadium will acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land.

Indigenous Melbourne Storm winger Josh Addo-Carr shared with Mark Levy and Brad Fittler what the round means to him and his family.

“It’s a special round for our people. It’s a round that I look forward to every year.

“It’s just a little acknowledgement to the First Nations people and … Indigenous players that have contributed to rugby league.

“We love it.”
