Footy star who was caught under the influence of alcohol and drugs on his way to training promises to NEVER let it happen again: 'I'm continuing to work on myself'
- Braydon Trindall has broken his silence
- Sharks star was caught driving with alcohol and drugs in his system
- He has vowed to never let it happen again
Braydon Trindall has promised to never allow a repeat of the incident which saw him stood down by his NRL club earlier this season.
Cronulla Sharks star Trindall was caught driving to training under the influence of alcohol, and with an illicit substance in his system, in April, in an incident which threatened to derail his 2024.
The 24-year-old recorded a mid-range alcohol reading of 0/125 during his roadside drug test which also returned a positive reading for recreational drugs on the morning after Cronulla beat North Queensland.
He copped a fine and was disqualified from driving for three months after facing court in May, and has now expressed his remorse after missing more than a month of action due to a breach notice.
'It won't happen again,' Trindall told Sydney Morning Herald. 'We've gone over that and it's been dealt with. I'm continuing to work on myself in the background.

'I've definitely come out the other side as a better person for it. I want to repay everyone that's supported me by playing some good footy.'
Trindall thanked Sharks coach Craig Fitzgibbons for his support throughout the ordeal, saying: 'He's been awesome.
'He supported me the whole way. I just want to repay him. I just wanted to focus on [what was happening] and getting through that first.
'But I'm feeling good [now]. The boys showed a lot of support. It's good being back and I'm keen to work hard for them.'
