Nat Butcher took another step in his promising first grade career in 2018, playing over half the season for the Roosters and stepping up to any challenge when it was required.

In the opening rounds of the season, Butcher was the squad's 18th man.

In round 6 he got his first taste of first grade and consistently improved over time.

He got his first career start in Round 13 against the Wests Tigers in the second row and played 80 minutes.

There were two other starts for the young second rower in 2018 and both games were impressive showings.
