Jed Reardon is an emerging NRL forward who made his first-grade debut with the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs in the 2026 season, marking the arrival of one of the club’s most promising young talents.

Hailing from Temora in regional New South Wales, Reardon is a product of strong rugby league roots and determination. A third-generation Bulldog, he follows in the footsteps of his father Steve Reardon, who played 163 NRL games for the club, and his grandfather Bernie Temple. This deep family connection to the Bulldogs has shaped Jed’s journey and passion for the game from a young age.

Reardon developed his game through the Bulldogs’ pathways system after progressing from the Temora Dragons. Known for his toughness and work ethic, he has proven his versatility, playing both in the back row and at centre throughout his development. His background in country rugby league instilled resilience and a strong team-first mentality, traits that continue to define his playing style.

He made his NRL debut in Round 12 of the 2026 season against the Melbourne Storm at Accor Stadium, coming off the interchange bench in a memorable 30–20 victory. Thrust into the action late in the contest, Reardon handled the step up with composure, contributing defensively and playing a role in the lead-up to a late match-sealing try.
