Young Australian rugby league player Meaalofa Te'o has become a viral media hit across the world at the age of nine after displaying his skills on the pitch where he scores tries for fun.

Click play to watch the video of Te'o - in the No 17 shirt - in action for the Doveton Steelers as he almost single-handedly led the Melbourne team to a tournament victory in Canberra.

Hand-offs, jinks and side-steps were all on show from the youngster as he racked up a number of length-of-the-field tries.

His advantages over his opponents are clear, but could Te'o be a star in the making?

Meaalofa's father Karene Te'o told Australian media: "Tries like that are normal for him. He is a very good player but soft at heart. He is a very humble young boy.''
