Daly Cherry-Evans is one of Manly's greatest ever half-backs.
The inspirational Sea Eagles captain displays superb leadership skills and is a proven match-winner.
A brilliant 2023 season saw Cherry-Evans claim the Club’s NRL Roy Bull 'Best and Fairest' Award for the third time (2017, 2020).
A big game player with a lethal all-round kicking game, Cherry-Evans sits second on the club record list behind Cliff Lyons (309) for most first grade games for Manly.
A premiership winner in his first season at Manly in 2011, Cherry-Evans won the Clive Churchill Medal in 2013.
He became just the second person to reach 300 games as a Manly player behind the great Cliff Lyons (309) and also the first player to reach 300 games playing in the same position. He is the 49th player in the game's history to play 300 games.
On the representative front, Cherry-Evans has played 22 Origin games for Queensland and has captained the Maroons to three series victories (2020, 2022, 2023).
He has also played 21 Tests for Australia since 2011.
Cherry-Evans is contracted to Manly to the end of 2025.
