Western Suburbs can lay claim to 33 Test Internationals passing through the gates of Pratten Park and playing for the Magpies…

20 of these International Players represented Australia while active as a Western Suburbs Player and, remarkably, two Angus Fraser and Monty Panesar were selected for England while in the Wests ranks.

Mitchell STARC, who debuted in Wests First Grade in 2007, continues to spearhead the Australian attack.

However, it all started in March of 1877, in the First Test match in Melbourne, when Tom GARRETT debuted at age 18 years and 232 days…which still makes him the youngest representative to play for Australia against England. Tom was educated at Newington College while the School was still at ‘Newington House’, in the Sydney suburb of Silverwater.
