Penrith Panthers Halfback Signs Four-Year Contract Extension Ahead of 2025 Season
The Penrith Panthers have officially secured their star halfback for the long term, announcing a four-year contract extension that will keep him at the club through the 2029 NRL season. The announcement puts an end to months of speculation surrounding the future of one of the game’s most talented playmakers.
The 2024 season has already seen the halfback continue his dominant form, guiding the Panthers with precision and leadership. His extension comes as a major boost for the reigning premiers, who are aiming to build on their current dynasty and cement their place as one of the NRL’s greatest modern-era teams.
In a statement released by the club, the halfback expressed his excitement and commitment to staying with the team that helped launch his career. “This club means everything to me. It’s my home, and I’m proud to wear this jersey every week. I’m grateful for the opportunity to continue building something special with this group of players and our incredible fans,” he said.
Panthers coach Ivan Cleary praised the halfback’s influence both on and off the field. “He’s the heartbeat of this team. His work ethic, vision, and leadership make him one of the best in the game. Locking him in long-term is massive for our future.”
The extension not only solidifies the club’s spine but also sends a clear message that the Panthers are determined to keep their championship core intact. With the 2025 season approaching, the Panthers will look to continue their dominance with a settled roster and their key playmaker leading the charge.
The four-year deal reinforces the club’s strategy of maintaining continuity and building success from within, as they aim for continued excellence in the years to come.
