Vicious Cronulla star Matt Moylan enlisted the help of a renowned running coach to get his NRL career going again.
The 29-year-old struggled to get to the park in 2020 and has suffered from hamstring problems throughout his career.
He was once touted as the next Darren Lockyer, but has left no mark on the prestigious stage and has certainly not reached these heights since joining the Sharks.

He’s got a contract for 2021, but with an estimated salary of $ 800,000, Moylan will struggle to find another job of the same value.
Now he’s turning to sprint coach Roger Fabri in hopes that changing running style can help his troublesome hamstrings.
“There were a few people in the club who said my (running) technique needed a bit of work, so we started doing it late this year,” Moylan told Channel 9.

“I thought it would be a good idea to work with Roger again.
“There is some work to be done to regain confidence that it can open up more often in a game, and I won’t have it in the back of my mind that something bad could happen.”
He says he has real fears about his career.
“Last season in particular I wasn’t able to play that much on the field and when I was there I didn’t play 100 percent,” he said.
Fabri explained to Channel 9 the type of work he does with the Sharks Star.
He’s basically trying to change Moylan’s entire running technique.

“I’m training his mechanics from scratch and I have one point to prove here. I want to show these mechanics the vulnerability of hamstrings that go on. I think I can put it in a lower category than our mission, ”said Fabri.
“Today he was in the top class and no problem.
“Much of it is mental scar tissue.”
