The veteran prop forward who hails from the village of Hat Head, enjoyed a home visit of sorts as part of the Cronulla Sharks squad who thumped the Gold Coast Titans at the Coffs Harbour International Stadium.

Aiden started his NRL career with the Melbourne Storm before linking with the Canterbury Bankstown Bulldogs for 10 stellar years.
This season he has turned out for the Sharks, who rolled the pre-game favourites from the Gold Coast 38-10 at Coffs.
