Playing career

Early career

In late 2013, Lussick played for the Australian Schoolboys.[5] In 2014 and 2015, he played for the Parramatta Eels' NYC team.[6] During 2015, he made a mid-season switch to the Sydney Roosters.[7] In 2016, he graduated to the Roosters' Intrust Super Premiership NSW team, Wyong Roos.[8]

2017

In 2017, Lussick joined the Manly Warringah Sea Eagles. In round 20 of the 2017 NRL season, he made his NRL debut for the Sea Eagles against the St. George Illawarra Dragons,[9][10] playing alongside his brother Darcy and scoring a try.[11]

2018

In 2018, Lussick joined English side, the Salford Red Devils for the rest of the season in their aim to remain in the Super League during the Middle 8s.[12] His existing footballing relationship with fellow new Red Devil Jackson Hastings, having played Australian schoolboys as well as at the Roosters and Manly with Hastings, was said to be an added bonus according to Head Coach Ian Watson, as was his adaptability to play anywhere in the spine.[13]
