A kid playing under 12s touch football for the Cronulla Sharks has seen his stock rise exponentially over the weekend, after he lit up the opposition with a flurry of ankle-breaking sidesteps. 

Sharks junior Tyson Mitchell lined up against the Lower Blue Mountains Rangers as part of the 2016 NSW Junior State Cup, and proceeded to make them all witnesses. Mitchell stepped his way around six attempted tackles before offloading to a teammate for a try in the corner. 

Touch football highlights packages can attract huge numbers on YouTube, such as Warriors halfback and 2014 Golden Boot winner Shaun Johnson, who’s highlight reel has been viewed over 750,000 times.
