Tom Trbojevic (born 2 October 1996) is an Australian professional rugby league footballer who currently plays for the Manly Warringah Sea Eagles in the National Rugby League. He plays at fullback and wing.
Born in Sydney, New South Wales, Trbojevic is of mixed Australian (Mother's side), and Serbian and Croatian descent (Father's side), as noted by his older brother, Jake, on the Foxtel program, Sterlo, on 28 February 2017 and played his junior rugby league for the Mona Vale Raiders, before being signed by the Manly Warringah Sea Eagles.
Despite playing for both Mona Vale and in junior representative teams, Trbojevic scored 94.3% on his HSC. He is currently attending university where he is studying a double degree in Applied Finance and Economics.
Trbojevic is the younger brother of fellow Manly Warringah Sea Eagles player Jake Trbojevic.
In 2014 and 2015, Trbojevic played for the Manly Warringah Sea Eagles' NYC team. In June 2014, he played for the New South Wales Under-18s team. On 25 September 2014, he re-signed with the Sea Eagles on a 2-year contract.
Trbojevic started 2015 playing fullback for Manly's NYC team and crossed for 4 tries in the opening game of the season against the Parramatta Eels at Pirtek Stadium. He continued to play a starring role in the Under 20's as Manly won its first four games of the season until injuries forced first grade coach Geoff Toovey to promote him to make his NRL debut on the wing for the Sea Eagles in their Round 5 game against the Canberra Raiders at the Lavington Sports Ground in Albury in country NSW. Although Manly ultimately lost the game 29-16, Trbojevic scored a try with only his second touch of the ball and later crossed for his second try on debut. Unfortunately, a high ankle injury suffered in the following round against the Penrith Panthers sidelined him for a number of weeks.
