Dear Penrith Panthers, Fans, and Panther Community, As I sit down to write this letter, I am flooded with profound thanks and appreciation. My time with the Penrith Panthers has been nothing short of incredible. From the beginning of my career to the heights we’ve reached together, none of this would have been possible without the constant support and affection of the whole Panthers community.
First and foremost, I’d like to convey my profound gratitude to the club for providing an environment in which I could actually thrive. The Penrith Panthers have always been more than a club to me; they’ve been a home, a family, and a place where I’ve been able to grow as a player and a person. The club’s dedication to quality, its work ethic, and conviction in developing young talent have helped me develop into the player I am today.
To my colleagues, thank you for your unwavering support, for pushing me to be better, and for establishing an environment in which everyone strives for the team’s overall success. It’s an honor to wear the jersey with such amazing people, and I’ve learnt so much from each and every one of you. The closeness we share extends beyond the field, and I am really pleased of what we have accomplished together.
The fans, who are the heart and soul of this club, have been overwhelmingly supportive. You’ve supported us through both highs and lows, and I can’t express how much that means to me. You create an unrivaled atmosphere, and it’s an honor to perform in front of you every week. Your enthusiasm, energy, and dedication have propelled us in ways you’ll never completely comprehend.
Finally, I’d want to thank everyone in the Penrith community for their contributions to my development both on and off the field. Your support, belief in myself, and pride in our team have all helped to make Penrith more than simply a location where I play rugby league; it’s a place I honestly call home.
Thank you for everything. We’ve created something wonderful together, and I’m delighted to continue on this adventure with you.
With tremendous thanks and respect, Nathan Cleary,
Halfback, Penrith Panthers.
