Sports Legend's Daughter Achieves Her NFL Cheerleading Dream

Her father, one of the top rugby stars in NRL history, is extremely proud of his daughter.

“I couldn’t be prouder writing this about my beautiful daughter, Indianna. As a young child, her dream was always to cheer for an NFL side and I’m here to announce she has made the squad for the NFL Raiders,” Carroll wrote on Instagram.

“Looking back in years the adversity she has had to get through blows my mind.

“As a young girl to be crippled with the most horrible disease, endometriosis. And now to be on the big stage of America NFL played on TV to millions and millions of people each game. Look out team. My Girl Indianna is about to blow you away Australian Style.

“Also a massive shout out to my beautiful wife Monique who has taught Indianna and has been by her side with the ups and downs in life. Today is a massive highlight for her. What a mother. Proud.” ️
