Australia’s rising stars of professional bull riding have just scored the ride of their lives – drafted to the world’s biggest stage, the PBR (Professional Bull Riders) Teams Series in the USA.
Four of the country’s toughest and most talented young guns – Queensland brothers Macaulie and Boston Leather, fellow Queenslander Thomas Triplett and Jack Brodrick from Bungendore in NSW – have officially been picked up in the 2025 PBR Teams New Rider Draft, securing coveted spots in top-tier American teams.
- Macaulie Leather (24 years from Calliope, QLD) – 2023 PBR Australia Champion – drafted to the Texas Rattlers, joining fellow Aussies, the legendary Brady Fielder, Callum Miller and Qynn Anderson.
- Boston Leather (19 years from Calliope, QLD) – 2024 PBR Australia Champion and Rookie of the Year – headed to Missouri Thunder.
- Thomas Triplett (19 years from Bungundarra, QLD) – the top scorer at Newcastle’s PBR Origin I and Rookie of the Year contender – drafted to the Oklahoma Wildcatters
- Jack Brodrick (22 years from Bungendore, NSW) – the #1 ranked rider in Australia after PBR Australia’s first quarter, also drafted to the Oklahoma Wildcatters, where he’ll be coached by his childhood idol, PBR legend and two-time World Champion J.B. Mauney!
These signings mark a major moment for Australian bull riding, solidifying PBR Australia as a breeding ground for international stars. The Draft, held in the USA, is the launching pad into one of the toughest and most high-profile professional sports in the world – and these boys are ready to bring the heat. And they’re following in elite footsteps...
BRADY FIELDER: QUEENSLAND’S QUIET ACHIEVER GOES GLOBAL
Queensland’s Brady Fielder, already a mainstay with the Texas Rattlers, just capped off an epic campaign at the 2025 PBR World Finals in Arlington, Texas – taking out the prestigious Lane Frost/Brent Thurman Award for the highest-marked ride of the Finals. He also locked in a Top 10 individual finish, with the Rattlers clinching the overall Teams Championship title.
PBR Australia’s Glen Young said the success of Fielder – and the new wave of drafted riders – proves that Aussie bull riders are a global force.
“Brady has shown that our Aussie riders are truly world class,” Young said. “We’re incredibly proud of the talent coming out of PBR Australia. The structure, training and events here prepare our athletes for the biggest stage – and this Draft proves just that. These boys are headed into battle, but they’re ready. And they’re going to fly the Aussie flag high.”
