Despite his young age, Albert Litisoni is making an impact on the sporting stage.

The 12-year-old Marayong Public School student is a star in both rugby codes.

After moving from Griffith to Blacktown this year, Litisoni has made pretty much every representative side there is.

A stellar year with both his school and the Rouse Hill Rhinos under-12/1 side saw him selected in the Sydney West squad for the NSW PSSA rugby league open championships.

This year Albert has represented his state in both forms of the sport.

The team went through the tournament group and semi-final stages undefeated before falling to Mackillop in the grand final 22-6.

Albert wouldn’t have to wait long to claim a title, however, taking out the under-12 rugby union national primary schools championships with the NSW first XV.

“Albert has done exceptionally well in 2017,” Marayong Public School’s sports co-ordinator Catherine Graham said.

“He’s so down-to-earth and just such a humble and grateful kid. He always thinks of others before himself.”
