The Australian arrived in England to sign for the Dons in 2016 from NRL side South Sydney Rabbitohs. Initially a half-back, Hedges has since plied his trade in a number of positions in recent seasons, with the loose-forward role in-particular one he has become accustomed to.

After an impressive 2019, Hedges was named as the club's Player of the Year, before suffering a serious knee injury in the play-off tie at Oldham. His recovery will continue well into the 2020 campaign but he is well on the road to a return as the season enters the business end.
