A fullback or winger, he is an Australian international and Queensland State of Origin representative. THE Kiwis have lost their battle with Australia over one of the hottest young prospects in the NRL.Sharks winger Valentine Holmes was included in the Kiwis train-on squad named on Tuesday, after being involved with the Junior Kiwis in 2013.However the 19-year-old, who has dual eligibility and turned out for Queensland’s under-20s team earlier this year, was also named in the Junior Kangaroos on Monday.At one stage, it looked likely he would opt for the Kiwis but on Thursday night Holmes, who has Maori heritage through his New Zealand father but was raised in Townsville, informed the NZRL he had decided to aim for the green and gold.It’s understood Queensland coach Mal Meninga tried to convince him to throw his lot in with the Maroons.It’s a blow for the Kiwis as Holmes is rated highly.After a standout Holden Cup season, he came into first grade in Round 21 and continued to impress.His Cronulla contract has been extended twice since February (through to the end of 2017) and his presence saw Raiders whiz-kid Anthony Milford shifted to the halves in Queensland’s under-20 side.“We were keen on Valentine and he is obviously a talent,” NZRL high performance manager Tony Iro said.“He told us he wanted to be included but needed some time to think things through and we were prepared to give him that.“There are no hard feelings.

Since I was 17, that’s when I moved there and I’ve been coming up through all ages there and I’d love to finish out there if it didn’t work out here.”Per the conditions of his Cronulla release, if Holmes does return to league in 2019, the Sharks will be the only team he can play for.“I’m sure I’d have to go back to my old club,” Holmes said.“But that’s if they can fit me in their cap as well. It’s whether they can get Cronulla to agree to release him to North Queensland.”Again, for the time being, Holmes is wholly dedicated to the NFL and forging a legitimate career in front of a new level of audience.He impressed in his Pro Day earlier in the week, and has made some strides towards representing a promising project for NFL franchises.“My main goal is to play a normal position like a running back or even a slot [receiver],” Holmes said.“But I feel like the quickest way for me to get on a team and get recognised straight away is at returner, and then obviously learn the game a lot more.”A NOTE ABOUT RELEVANT ADVERTISING: We collect information about the content (including ads) you use across this site and use it to make both advertising and content more relevant to you on our network and other sites.
