The Rugby League Players Association is pleased to announce Melbourne Storm halfback Jahrome Hughes has been voted by NRL players as their Player of the Month for July.
By winning the July award, Jahrome claims his second RLPA Player of the Month award for the year after winning the month of April.
The 2020 Premiership winner was a leading force for the Melbourne Storm as they continued their dominant season with three wins from three games. Jahrome, as their playmaker and lynchpin, once again played a key role in that continued success in 2024.
Jahrome was voted Player of the Month ahead of fellow nominees Matt Burton, James Tedesco and Tom Trbojevic.
