Biography

Fiery Queensland forward spent the 1996-97 seasons with the London Broncos before joining Melbourne in 1998. Bawden was used as an interchange player in Melbourne’s grand final victory in 1999, before making his State of Origin debut the following year. Surprisingly mobile for his size and skilful with the ball, Bawden nevertheless struggled during the club’s disappointing 2001 season and was released at the end of the year. 2002 saw him return to the London Broncos before he moved to France and played the Elite League.
