Ethan Read has kicked off his 2027 pre-season with a bang, taking out the SUNS 2km time trial on Monday morning.

The club's first-to-fourth year players returned to the track to begin pre-season preparations at Griffith University, with Read first past the post in this morning's trial.

He crossed the line ahead of fellow StreetSmarts SUNS Academy graduate Zeke Uwland and winger Ben Jepson. Rounding out the top five were Will Graham and Leo Lombard.

The SUNS kick start its 2027 season at Optus Stadium against West Coast on Sunday, March 21.
