Dylan Egan

A Gerringong Lions junior, Egan has progressed through the club’s pathways system having played two seasons of Harold Matthews Cup and two seasons of SG Ball with the Steelers.

He was the captain of Illawarra’s SG Ball outfit in 2023 and made the leap up to Jersey Flegg Cup level later in the season before making a half-dozen Knock-On Effect NSW Cup appearances.

The 20-year-old enjoyed a standout Knock-On Effect NSW Cup campaign in 2024 appearing in all 24 games scoring seven tries and making 849 tackles – the highest among all Dragons and third in the competition – at near 96 per cent efficiency whilst tallying 11 line breaks and 45 tackle breaks.

Egan moved into the club’s Top 30 in 2025 and was rewarded with an NRL debut in the side’s Round 4 win over Melbourne – the same week he inked a two-year extension.

He nabbed the first try of his NRL career in the side’s Round 6 win over the Titans before his year was unfortunately cut short by an ACL tear in Round 11.

Egan is under contract with the club until at least the end of the 2027 season.
