Keighton Matofai-Forbes is a highly regarded prospect at the Western Jets, and was voted in as captain to start his top-age campaign. The 188cm power forward is also capable of playing across half-back, with his penetrative kicking skills and competitive nature at the core of such versatility.
A strong unit, Matofai-Forbes holds his own one-on-one and is not afraid to thrown his frame around to impact the opposition. He has the right amount of mongrel to impose himself on games both offensively and defensively, fully utilising his physical gifts in each phase of the game.
While Matofai-Forbes is certainly capable of pulling off spectacular passes and breaking the lines by foot, sometimes his flat kicking can be to the detriment of teammates. He can look to improve his composure and steady up in front of goal, while also rebuilding his endurance base on the back of some injury setbacks to become more consistent.
