The 20-year-old St George Illawarra Dragon kicked off the year with an incredible outing at the NRL Nines before making his long-awaited first grade debut in round 18 against the Raiders, scoring a double and announcing himself as one of the most electric up and coming outside backs in the country.

Sandwiched between that was a life-changing experience at Dragons HQ where he spent seven months inside the NRL bubble, training all day every day to achieve a life-long goal of becoming a professional rugby league player, the 2020 season is one Ramsey won't forget.

And while everything mentioned above has contributed to the most memorable year of Ramsey's life so far, it's also been one of the most mentally challenging situations he's experienced.

That's why Ramsey was absolutely over the moon to return to Molong after spending more than half-a-year away from the place he's called home his whole life.

He arrived home last Thursday and has loved every minute of the last week.

"I've just been out at the property spending some time with my little sisters," Ramsey said.

"I played some basketball (on Tuesday) and went out to the dam on the weekend with a few mates and did some skiing.

"Other than that I've been at the pub having some feeds and just spending some quality time with my family."

He'll get seven weeks at home before he makes a return to Wollongong for pre-season training with the Dragons and the schedule over the next two months is looking very cruisy - just the way he wants it.

"I've got to switch off and get away from football," he said.

"If you're always thinking about it, it can be mentally draining so for me it's about switching off, being on the property with no phone service and no nothing.

"It's definitely a mindset you've got to have for a few weeks then when pre-season comes around again, you switch your brain back on and go back into the season."

When Ramsey was a kid, he used to dream of moments where he'd be able to interact with NRL players and even get to the city to watch a match, which is why he's so grateful for all the attention he's receiving from not only young footy players, but the entire town of Molong.

"It's so surreal for me, it's just my hometown," he said.

"I grew up here and every single person that's talked to me in town I've known since I was six or seven and now they look up to me.

"It's pretty fascinating when you think about it. I used to look up to NRL players and you don't see many around here.

"I know this means a lot to a few of the younger kids and it means a lot to me to be here with them."

On Tuesday afternoon, Ramsey and his mother Kim Stojanov went down to Dr. Ross Memorial Recreation Ground where a convoy of rugby league juniors from Molong and Cabonne played touch footy with Ramsey and were clearly in awe of their returning hero.
