Rabbitohs confirm utility’s long-waited extension

The South Sydney Rabbitohs have officially confirmed a two-year contract extension for utility Jamie Humphreys, keeping him at the club until the end of the 2028 season. The announcement puts an end to months of speculation linking the 24-year-old with a prospective move to the NRL's upcoming franchise, the Perth Bears. Humphreys expressed his gratitude and excitement about continuing his journey with South Sydney.

Humphreys originally joined from the Manly Sea Eagles and earned the club's John Sattler Rookie of the Year Award in 2025. Known for his versatility across halfback, five-eighth, dummy-half, lock, and centre, his extension provides key flexibility as South Sydney navigates future lineup decisions surrounding veteran Cody Walker. The deal is expected to be worth around $400,000 alongside performance and premiership bonus clauses.
