Graham Nominated for Ken Stephen Medal
South Sydney Rabbitohs back Campbell Graham has been nominated for the 2026 Ken Stephen Medal, presented by Westpac, in recognition of his outstanding contribution to the community. Fan voting is now open, with one player from every NRL club recognised as part of this year's Community Team of the Year.
Graham's nomination acknowledges his work both on the field and off it, with the Rabbitohs star highlighted by the Club for going above and beyond in his commitment to volunteering throughout 2026.
A leader in the community
Campbell Graham is recognised not only as one of the South Sydney Rabbitohs’ most dynamic players, but also as a dedicated community leader. An active contributor to Souths Cares programs, he regularly participates in school engagement visits, delivering workshops focused on healthy relationships and wellbeing as part of an initiative that reaches more than 25,000 students across Sydney each year.
Beyond his commitments with the Rabbitohs, Campbell has built a strong and ongoing relationship with the St Vincent de Paul Society. He regularly volunteers with the Vinnies Vans, helping provide food and support to people experiencing homelessness across Sydney. His sustained commitment to serving others reflects his generosity, leadership and character, making him a respected role model within the club and the broader community.
About the Ken Stephen Medal
The Ken Stephen Medal, presented by Westpac, recognises the genuine contribution an NRL player makes not only through their performance on the field, but through their positive impact in their local community. Each of the 17 nominees was first put forward by their own club for their commitment to volunteering, before being confirmed as part of the 2026 NRL Community Team of the Year.
The winner of the fan vote will receive $1000 to give back to their junior rugby league club.
